WELL, we had our Back to School Recruiting. The good news is 15 Scouts
paid, and 11 more are thinking. The bad news was - as an event I had put
considerable thought into, it was terrible.
Could anyone give me some ideas 1) how many leaders to have there. We
had all that were available and it still wasn't enough.
2) How do you deal with the 40 potential scouts and all their brothers and
sisters who showed up and ran around the half of the gym and wouldn't
listen to your helpers. Note: Webs II aren't old enough to handle a
crowd like that. I had to put our Unit Commish to work and he stepped in
with a story. (Thanks Jeff!!!!!!) They wouldn't be interested in game or
craft and broke every school rule about climbing on the gym equipment.
WE had every adult available there plus a few who happened to be there
helped. It was still chaos.
