"Yeah, that's pretty normal.\n \n\n\n\tThough I support the BOR rule, I find hypocracy in the requirement that BOR can't have SM or ASMs.  Often committee members interact with the scouts more than ASMs (who can't be on BORs).  That seems wrong and breaks the idea that you want someone separate to judge program quality.  \n \n\n\n\t\"Ideally\", scouts work with scouts.  SM is the liason to the adults.  ASMs support the SM.  The SM/ASM side interacts with the scouts.  ... committee members don't.  I've seen way too many troops where ASM seems like an entry level spot that will eventually step up to a functional committee role such as advancement, treasurer, etc. \n \n\n\n\tThe best camp outs I've seen are where we have two adults and the scouts.  Even when it's been 30+ scouts.  \n \n\n\n\tI wish the BOR rule was ... BOR can only be staffed with people who don't interact with the scouts.  (camping, advancement, etc)\n \n\n\n\t \n \n"
