Golden age

The golden age was an era of the troop that lasted from before I joined the troop to around 2015~2016; 2016 marking the complete and utter disbandment of the old system and customs. You will hear many scouts these days refer to the gold age with phrases such as "the old way" "how we used to do it" "when we were your age". In the golden ages morral was generally higher than now so older scouts could pull a lot more BS than now. No seriously you try and make a younger scout do something mildly boring they just quit or complain. When the older scouts now where in the troop there was a very clear pecking order and younger scouts where at the bottom stuck doing hard work and sometimes just got stuck doing pure BS because the older scouts felt like it. The Golden Age from my recollection was still nice because as the name in implies this still was the golden age when the troop was flourishing, full of scouts of all different ages, and there were trips every month.
