The Goofy Den Leader needs you! We have just established a new Troop for girls and I need your best recruitment ideas and would love to hear your experiences in building up new units! Email us at [email protected], message us at www.anchor.fm/thegoofydenleader, or share on our Facebook Page. Thank you all so much! Working together we all achieve more ⚜️

A quick update on how we've changed the format of our feedback station at the April Pack Meeting to ensure full, honest responses anonymously.

Liam & I chat about our plans for Cub Residence Camp this Summer which he is VERY excited about.

Correction: The quote I was thinking of near the end of the episode, "Scouting is a Game with a Purpose," is actually from 'Green Bar Bill' Hillcourt, not Lord Baden-Powell.

Recorded late last year, this is what Fall sounds like where I grew up 😀

Thank you to all our listeners as we celebrate 2 years of The Goofy Den Leader and look to the future!

Recorded after Lights Out at Spring Camporee

Jeremy discusses the difference between feedback and input, why they matter when planning your Pack/Den activities for the year ahead, and how to gather/use them well. Notes-> Jeremy's Pillars of Scout Planning: Safety, Fun, & Learning. Feedback needs to be given Freely, Clearly, & Kindly.

Jeremy discusses how parents and leaders involved in Scouting who work for corporations may have an opportunity to receive corporate donations to non-profits of their choice just by logging their community volunteer hours and what this can mean for your unit and the greater community.

Jeremy discusses when, what, and how to communicate your Pack's Cub Day/Twilight/Summer Camp opportunities so families can make plans for their Scouts to attend.

Jeremy and the kids discuss Pinewood Derby car construction, what the Derby is, and what it means to build those cars together.
