It was so nice, we had to do it twice. Okay, maybe not twice, but the conversation just kept on going. Part 2 of our discussion on a Troop open house.
After an extended intro discussing...well...pretty much nothing, we start a discussion about holding an open house event for your Troop. Make sure you listen through the end for some words of wisdom from a special guest.
It's Pinewood season, so we tell stories of Derbies past, present and future.
Jay and Gregg have added to their hours a week!
Aside from required position training, how do you get leaders to attend next-level options such as Wood Badge, Powderhorn, University of Scouting and other opportunities?
Can you believe this is our 50th episode? We reflect on what we've done so far and why we continue to give our hour a week to Scouting.
We are back and reflecting on the Wood Badge course that we all just finished staffing.
We've all seen Units dissolve, but have you been part of the process? We have, and talk about the reasons, the process and what happened next.
For as long as we can remember, Jay has had a hand in bringing our local University of Scouting to life. On this week's episode we talk about why you should host, attend and instruct at a UofS.
This week we welcome our special guest Steve, who will be one of the leaders for our Council's 2022 contingent at the Scottish Jamborette.
Also, who wants to help design the uniform knot presented to guests on the Practical Scouter?
We just had our annual Scouter Recognition Dinner. How do you recognize and celebrate your leaders?
No funny quips for this one, it's a serious topic. For further information and training please visit https://www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org/.
Our first big "getting the band back together" event was a huge success. We talk about Camporees big and small, near and far.
This week we're talking about membership trends (they're not good).
Once you hit the Scouts BSA program, youth-led means hands-off for the adults. That can be a big change for Cub leaders and new parents who aren't used to letting their youth fail safely. How do you manage the adults who won't stand back?
We're getting back to a regular schedule soon, we promise! This week we talk about the age of our Scouts and how that translates into positions of responsibility, leadership and mentoring.
Sorry it's been so long, but we are back! Due to the nature of the position it often feels like Cub leaders are new trainees while BSA leaders stay for ages. How do you create a culture of support from Troops to Packs that fosters building up our Cub leadership?
Bob's Back! We continue to discuss the upcoming Wood Badge course and why YOU should attend, for yourself and for your unit.
