Re: What member go to competitions?
The requirement to travel to Chesapeake with the team last year was attendance at 70% of weekday meetings, 60% of Saturday meetings, and $100 to cover food for the 4.5 days we were out of town. (The percentages might be off a smidge--it's been a minute since then.)
The food money was not required in 2007, since our regional was in town that year, but the attendance requirement remained in the ballpark. That year, we brought eight kids and three mentors to Palmetto and did just fine.
I enjoy scouts and a cheering section and all that, but you go to war with the army you have. In our case, it's the army that earned their spots.
