5 Ways to Make Your Scouting Better This Year


Listen Later

Happy New Year! Let's make this year one of the best for Scouting. There are five ways to make sure that we start off the year in a good way. 

#1 is to make sure that your Youth Protection Training is up to date. It's OK to do it annually even though it's good for two years, and this will help avoid rechartering issues down the road. 

#2 Download and distribute the Journey To Excellence scorecard and distributed to all leaders in your unit. Commit to run your unit to achieve the gold level. 

#3 Crosstraining… All leaders should be cross-trained and have the skills needed for a different position. Learning what other leaders do will give you more enlightenment (Big Picture) about the scouting process.  

#4 get your Scouts BSA Health Form ABC Taking care of at your annual checkup. This will prevent any snags in going on adventures or camping. 

#5 Vaccinations. It seems to be the number one topic these days of post-pandemic Scouting. However, one vaccination is important to get every year and that is the flu vaccination. Remember that there is a 14 day period between vaccinations.
