BSA President & CEO Roger Krone Shares Remarks at the Know2Protect Launch Press Conference at Homeland Security  

I think we will focus on these 2 items. Physically separate camping, adults cook their own meal, adults have a duty roster like the scouts. 

Those are all great ideas. I'd add:  Form an adult patrol.  Act like a patrol.   Make a yell.  A flag.  Camp apart.  Have your own kitchen, just like theirs.  Do your menu, just like they do.  Have your own grubmaster.  Plan your own patrol activities when it's patrol time.  Set the example.  

@mrjohns2, we validated you, now what do we propose for a solution? One of my strategies: offer to cook an adult-only meal. This assumes you know how to cook one very fine meal very well. But, usually when adults know that they’re getting a meal where they won’t have listen to kids complain, they’ll pitch in. Other ideas: Camp physically distant from the youth. Attend Camporees and require that the SM visit all of the other troops. Get your SM to training. Attend a summer camp that does patrol cooking. It takes quite a while to unlearn bad habits. So encourage her every time she takes a step back.

We have revitalized our committee this year.  I would like to provide a meaningful Scoutmaster report for them at committee meetings.  Soliciting any ideas.  I want to use this as an opportunity to inform, motivate and seek help where needed.  Here is what I have so far Key dates for next quarter for program (campouts, COH, etc) Roster overview (registered vs. active, rank breakdown) Summary of report from IA on ranks, badges, awards earned this year Summary of campouts since last meeting Overview of summer activities Key news (we have an Eagle getting a special award for example) Scoutmaster asks to committee for new business section later, mostly gear that needs replacing Intention is to give a 'state of the union' to the committee who are active parents but not necessarily in the loop on all these things.  Would like it to be one pager I can print and hand out so I can spend under 5 minutes doing overview during meeting.
