It took a little while to get everyone in the mess hall and seated at their tables. We tried to have 2 alumni at each table, 2 parents at each table, as well as 2 boy scouts and 2 cub scouts. We also tried to have the ages broken up so their was one older alumni as well as one 'younger', (i.e. 35-50), 1 parent from the Troop as well as 1 parent from the Pack, 1 older boy scout as well as 1 younger, and so on.

This made for nice conversation among all the age groups.
