These numbers are all off the top of my head, but here goes:

Say it took Simon 3 years to form the templars from judgement day (I don't
have books with me). So that means the templars have been around for 10
years.
Say Simon trained 1/2 dozen that first year to go out and do his works. 
So 9 years ago there were 7 (Simon + 6) templars.

Now say that since then roughly 1/2 the templars have had squires at any
one time, and Simon doesn't teach any because he's too busy. So...

Years Ago	# Templars
---------	----------
9		6
8		9
7		14
6		21
5		30
4		45
3		70
2		100
1		150
0 (today)	225

So there are roughly 200 templars out there. But wait, who are we kidding,
at least a 1/4 of them have died/retired/not passed squire-ship. So let's
say 150 templars TOTAL in the wasted west.

This kinda makes sense (that the numbers would be small) given the
training scheme (one squire at a time, a year of servitude). Last
Crusaders even talks about this and how much more prolific the
Anti-Templars are becoming because they don't have the same requirements.

Sure I missed stuff, anyone?

> How many Companions and Squires would you think there would be in Boise ?

Someone said 2% (one week out of every year) which sounds reasonable.
That's about 4.
