      Changing Troop Culture as a New Scouter

      By MrGumby · Posted

      I am not in Troop leadership yet, planning to join the committee this year and then take on any role needed when my son crosses over.  Do you think it's a better idea to try to move the Troop into a more adventure-minded position, or just influence the young patrol and hope it catches on? I worry that we won't have any influence and we will just be voted down if we don't have a decent strategy. Ultimately, they get to decide what they do, but I feel like curating the experience to take them outside of their comfort zone is part of what adult leadership is there for...that's how it functioned when I was a Scout.  Give and take, they pull us out of the wilderness to experience things we wouldn't otherwise, and we pull them out of town into nature...

      Raleigh or NC Troops, Where are you Camping??

      By Eagle94-A1 · Posted

      Units plan their own canoe trips. 25 year ago, a local company gave a VERY generous donation to a CO for bunch of canoes and a trailer. HOWEVER, the caveat was that the CO had to share the canoes with any unit in the district.  So canoes, trailer paddles, PFDs, etc are covered.

      Thank you for your reply, Eagle94.  As for the canoe trips, locating the river is one thing, logistically how is this being handled?  Do you use any particular outfitters that manage the canoe rentals, shuttles, drop off and pick up along the river?  Any camps along the rivers for multi-day trips? Thanks again for your helpful information!

      Perhaps an adventure trip with your son who snaps photos on his cell and shows to his fellow scouts.  Bottom-up, scout-led changes to troop outdoor program. Are you an adult leader in Troop?
