Debi, it sounds like you need a committee - have floks in charge of each track. Boy scout Venture Cubs....

If anyone is interested, I am building an ACCESS dB to try to fulfill these requirements. It's too late for this year but should have it for next year.

While this may be after the fact, I want to thank Paul for including the link to the Viking Council University of Scouting in his reply. I am helping with the event this year and had a firm foundation of courses from which to work. We discussed the course selection in our committee meetings and decided we wanted to include courses that stress what we are about, what we are trying to accomplish, and offer courses that will make the students' jobs easier in their units. To that end, remembering this is supplemental training, we always include at least one course on working with ADD and AD

I have a challenge. I am in charge of ("Dean") the CS leader Pow Wow this year as part of a university of scouting. We need a simple and effective method of handling walk-in registrations. The classes are of fixed length and offered at specific times. Students choose the classes they will attend. We are closing class sessions once they reach 30 participants. We used a card system last year with students building their schedules by pulling cards representing available slots. It was chaotic and it took a long time. I am thinking of trying a system whereby the people processin

Hello Cajun, The current cubmaster is probably very happy to have an eager assistant, so don't tread too lightly.

I used the following as a warm - up to our Pack's Blue and Gold Banquet. I am not the author of these words - they are a hybrid of several stories. The Cub Scouts love it when we use dry ice and thisis no exception. As preparation, fill two wine carafes with water (hotter is better) and add yellow food coloring to one and blue to the other. Use enough so the color is bright and not washed out. Use a pot of some kind (I used an old flowerpot with a can inside for the dry ice) and place a quantity of dry ice in the pot ahead of time. Also place a wolf neckerchief in the pot where it will b
