[RR] Patrol System is it dieing out?

[Mark Jones]

With the new program have you noticed the patrol system dieing out?    It makes sense as the older boys who are supposed to be leading the ("troop" according to the National Website) are in "uth".   The reason I emphasized troop was it is a boyscout term and not found in Royal Rangers...except on the national RR website.... I picked it up on a letter from a Dist. Men's Ministries Director after 10 years of experience with Royal Rangers etc....  I made the same mistake the first year in Royal Rangers...until I was enlightened about Troop-Outpost-Patrol differences....   GPH is still selling discontinued Patrol Flags and patches but the new program has no real place for it ... or have I missed something?    Why have a Sr. Guide and Patrol guides Asst. Guides but no place for them in the program or patches...standards..ect.?  Questions...I ask.    Can someone put me on the path to understanding here?   Mark Jones
