Cub Scouts: family & boy interviews & results

[Laurie 10]

eagle-pete: Your post got my attention; I'd love to hear more about the interviews you had with pack families and the boys and how things worked when you implemented their suggestions.

Ah... I've never used the 'spin thread' feature here.

 

Actually, it was really rather simple - I made a short questioneer with some questions obviously directed to the boy and others more or less directed to the parents.

 

Questions for the boys were like, "What do you like most about Cub Scouts?", "Would you like to attend Cub Scout Day Camp this year?", "Do you like coming to Pack Meeting?".

 

Questions more geared toward parents were like, "Do you know where (boy's name) is in his progress toward the (award name)?"

 

As for getting suggestions for what we could do better, I asked general questions to the parents and wrote them down. Some questions were like, "What can I do to include you more in your boy's Cub Scout experience?"

 

That was about it.
