[Philmont]: provo crews

I was wondering if anyone else on this list has had experience with provisional crews. My troop was only able to get one slot this year and since everyone else who wanted to go has never been, I stepped out. Then I was informed that my council (National Capital Area) was looking for advisors for their provisional crews. I recently went through the application and interview process and was just informed that I was selected for one of the positions.

This will be an entirely new experience for me. They were supposed to have the provo crews formed by this past weekend, but that has been pushed back to January. I imagine it will be quite a challenge as everyone will be from different troops in different areas (getting everyone together for shakedowns should be fun!). But I figure it will be a rewarding experience as well, seeing these kids who used to not even know each come together to work as a team.

Any advice/information about working with provisional crews would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Brian Gannon
