"If a ward or branch has only one or two eleven year-old
boys, the objective for them is the same—
to prepare them to receive the Aaronic Priesthood
and help them advance through the Boy Scout
program. Possible approaches to administering
the program under this circumstance include, but
are not limited to, the following: increase the size
of the patrol through activation and missionary
efforts; use the Lone Scout Program from the BSA;
or combine with neighboring wards or branches
after considering distance, expense, and time
demands that this option might impose on the
families involved." (Scouting Handbook section 6.2)
