Yes, this topic has come up a couple of times that I know of over the last
5 years. I haven't been with the club nearly as long as some people. When
the split range is discussed, there's always a concern for safety and I
think the people that are against this have a good point; it could be too
complicated.
Again, how about just running a ROCstock size event in October? We are not
telling the youth groups they can't participate. In fact, it might be nice
to have all the help.
