Does anyone hold some sort of training day/weekend/etc for Venturers or females that come into your crew that have no scout experience with things like tents/cooking outside/knots/1st aid, etc? All stuff that your boys that came from troops would already know.

 

Just curious.

 

 

We are actually having a training weekend this sumemr after we get all the kids out of school. We plan to have fire safety/building, hiking and foot/boot care, cooking, tentage, etc. We plan to go in on Friday night and leave Sunday afternoon. We are a new crew with at least 3 kids that are not former scouts and will be getting a couple more after school is out. We want to get some leadership going full tilt then too. Our scouts can certainly teach the non scouts and brush up themselves.
