Small units: recruitment night script
The other day I posted an article about how to organize a big unit back to school night for Thursday.
Small units are asking whether they need to have a full meeting like in years past. We are proposing that you follow the same pattern as big units except have one person follow the same order of conversation. It would not require separate stations be set up.
Converting Consumers of Play to Initiators of Play
Long-Time BSA staffer Scott Teare of Michigan took over the General Secretary of the World Organization of the Scouting Movement in January 2013.

The kids become responsible for creating their own fun. In the end they learn leadership and fellowship.
