CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! Seriously though, I will be looking to see if anyone has posted Bill's stuff to the net. Again I lent my copy of the 3rd edition SM handbook, to a Scoutreach SM to help him out. He used it to start 4 troops that he was the SM for. Sadly when he left the area, no one in the troops stepped up to the plate, and they folded. And I didn't get the book back either. -
@Eagle94-A1 Post a link to Green Bar Bill's ideas on how to start a new troop. One challenge always is for the kids to figure out who would be a good leader and getting to know each other so they can vote on who would be a good PL (or SPL). I'd suggest the first meeting include one or two get to know you games. And, run the games so that the girls start asserting their personality. You will quickly know who would do well standing up in front of others and helping keep things moving. I'd also start PL (SPL) early, but keep it simple. Then continually grow their role as they are ready. Continually though, focus on them having positive experiences as a leader. Otherwise, it can be intimidating and will scare off future scouts from volunteering to do. -

Use Green Bar Bill’s method, but move them away from adults teaching/learning to youth doing it. As you teach, train roses and thorns ... share the pluses and minuses. I wish these young ladies well.
