Personally, I disagree. I see no disadvantage to having 11 of 12 from
one troop and the 12th from another. Or even all 12 in a council
contingent from one troop. What is your reasoning for finding
this undesireable?
One factor you left out is that though a unit that can make
up a crew of 7 to 12 can POPTENTIALLY get their own trek,
they still only have
a 1 in 5 chance in the lottery. What happens if they fail?
Do you deprive those kids of the Philmont experience when
they apply to the council contingent? I'm not seeing this one.
