Did the patrol system work for them from day one?

You may find fault as you like, but the "moral tone"
he set was a Christian
ethic.
Easy now Duane - I haven't found any fault - I asked a simple question.

*And yes.. the "Patrol system" was there from day one.
SNIP
That's not what I asked. I asked if it worked from day 1 in the scouts. Big
difference.

I "read" you..
Actually you didn't.
Y
ou think it's hard..
Not at all.
Y
ou think you cannot do it.
I am doing it.
Y
ou think it isn't worth the effort.
Wrong again - and it really isn't much of an effort.
Y
ou think the boys don't care about it.
Nope - my boys love it!

ou've never seen it and if it was so important..
I grew up in it. In my outpost as a boy I was Senior Guide and we ran the
patrol system in a big way! That's why my Pioneers now also use the patrol
system.
Why isn't the Patrol System preached by "mr.Big Shot" as something worth
doing!
Because - well never mind - I have my opinion about "them" but I'll keep it
to myself (surprised, huh?)
Knock off that thinking and *Beleve it can be done!
What thinking? The thinking that BSA and it's predecessor may have had some
"lag time" actually getting the patrol system to work? Sorry - nobody's
perfect - I'm betting there was a "difficult" time getting boys to take
leadership and getting men to back off.
You don't have to wait around for "training" or "permission"..
Who me? Ha Ha Ha
