Start a Venture patrol


Dear Pedro, Lately, I have been finding my troop meetings to be a little boring. They seem to be geared toward younger kids more than high school students like my friends and I. I am a Star Scout and I want to keep advancing. Do you have any suggestions?

Talk with your senior patrol leader about spicing things up, Chase. Or talk with your Scoutmaster about starting a Venture patrol for you and your older buddies. I’m in charge of spicing things up around here, but my suggestions might get you in hot water (like they do me).
