| History
At this point the reasons
behind “Constellation Air Scouts” need to be explained. it
is not one troop but rather a collaboration by necessity of 2nd Benoni
and 4th Benoni air scout troops. Quite simply 4th Benoni had some boys
and no scouter, 2nd Benoni had very few boys and a troop scouter, and
so we see that
4+2 = 1 functioning troop.
As it stands this “collaboration”
is in effect until such time as both troops are strong enough to function
on their own or it is deemed necessary to merge.
The joint COH felt that
a common name was needed for the troop in the meantime and so, based on
the model hanging in the hall, the name “Constellation” was
decided upon.
Both troops have long
and interesting histories.
