The Practical Scouter

We're back!  This week (and next week) we welcome Bob, upcoming Wood Badge Course Director, as we discuss the benefits of the WB curriculum and our respective journeys through the program.

We've pulled back from Covid for the last couple of weeks, but the impact is pervasive in the Scouting program and top of mind in everything we do.  This week we review the Model Covid 19 Pre Event Medical Screening Checklist (say that 3 times fast).

You've got an organizational structure, financials, multi-year plans, and so on.  Sounds like a business to us.  This week we talk about running the business side of the Scouting program.

What does your DE (District Executive) do?  This week we talk about the retirement of a 40-year career Scouter and how he made a difference in the lives of the youth and adults that he served.

This week Jeff interviews local Cubmaster Merredith, who shares her thoughts on leadership, recruiting and Troop coordination.

How do you recruit Cubs into your Troop?  As a Cub leader/parent, what are you looking for from a recruiting event?

We've been away for a few weeks, but we're back and look at the most recent changes to the COVID guidance and how it will impact Scouting going forward.

Chet is back for a discussion of how to fit the right Scouts with the right Positions of Responsibility.

Our conversation with Chet continues as we discuss the permanence of the Eagle rank, the Points of the Law and Woods Wisdom.

This week we speak to our local Advancement Chair and talk about Eagle extensions, rejected BORs and leadership positions.
