Re: Board of Reviews

I have been following this thread loosely, but you might look at a Board
Of Review as a great opportunity to get more key community leaders
involved on the program level. Find out from your office who some of
the key financial contributors are, and set up a time to drop in and
recruit them for one Troop board.

Sell them by explaining that as leaders, they can really help these boys
stay involved and do Scouting a service at the same time. Explain that
you aren't after money, just one or two hours of their valuable time.
This also serves to give the Scout(s) a mentor in the community, another
idea that has been lost over time. At one time, every rank required a
Board, now it's all internal with ne district representative. Our
product isn't getting seen by the community leaders!

Leave them with a firm time, date, and location for the Board, and if
they have no Scouting background, some material about the levels to
which they will be faced with. There are some good sample questions
available in various Scouting literature.

The key leader gets more satisfaction from working with the Scouts
directly once than he/she will by 20 fund raising (read-snore!)
meetings, and your Unit will have found a new friend.

This modern notion of protecting the finance people has resulted in
losing the passion for Scouting within the community, and as Unit
leaders you can make a difference.

If the DE can't see the wisdom of this, ask him/her who won't give! Go
after that person/company!
