This year the Gila Monsters faced a similar situation. We employeed a point system. We gave 5 points or so for meeting attendance, points for weekends, community projects, fundraising and so on. Then when it came down to having to select between members for trips, the point rankings were consulted. This system is not perfect, and hopefully we will get enough sponsership and fundraising this next year to eliminate the need for such a system, but it took a lot of pressure off the mentors from having to select themselves.
