Hello all, Thanks to the two gentlemen who responded to my earlier posting. I appreciate you taking the time. I wasn't clear in my intentions. I know from training that it's the scouts who run the troop; the adults provide, among other functions, guidance to the scouts and oversight to ensure that BSA policies and procedures are not broken. So I have not taken the task of developing the program - that's for the scouts. What I'm looking for are specific activities, ideas, or programs that other scouts have used with success. Neither I nor the other adults plan to implement any

Hello, I am a trained adult leader new to scouting. Our troop has two challenges: 1) preparing meetings that are interesting and stimulating for older scouts; and 2) establishing greater parental involvement. I realize these are perennial challenges for nearly all troops. I was hoping to create a list of tips and techniques that other troops have used to meet these two challenges. Hopefully this forum will generate such a list to be a future resource for all of us. Many thanks. Cord Kirshner
