Podcast Topics Scouter Andrew with the 4th Elks Triwood Scout Group (based in Calgary, Alberta) sat down with a number of his fellow Scouters for a lengthy discussion of Scouts Canada’s Big Opportunity, how it applies to their Group, and how they’re already making some of its aims a reality.

More of What We Already Do

The Scouting Stuff Podcast ·

2022/12/30

“Already know you, that which you need.” Podcast Topics Ken and Colin close out the year with some reflections on the concept of doing a good turn, and how Scouts Canada -- in its efforts to find new ways to reach out to prospective members — might well have everything it needs already. Is it a question of pivoting the movement in some way, or is it a question of re-emphasising the values the movement already seeks to inculcate in its members?

Volunteers, Redux

The Scouting Stuff Podcast ·

2022/11/11

Finding and keeping volunteers: the ever-present challenge every Scout Group faces. Podcast Topics Ken is joined by Scouter Jonathan for this episode, to revisit a topic that was discussed as recently as Episode 121: how do you find volunteers for your Scout Group? And once you’ve done so...how do you retain them? As you might well imagine, there’s no one-size-fits-all, cut-and-dried solution. It’s generally not a winning strategy to try and force the issue by way of ultimatums, though at times it

A discussion of packing lists: what to include on them, and why they're important. Podcast Topics Parker rejoins the podcast and chats with Ken about packing lists. Because while it's nice to think that Scouts might be mature enough to know what to bring along on a trip, and while it might be tempting to test one's Scouts by making them suffer through the consequences of forgetting some key piece of gear, the truth of the matter is that just about everyone — even adults! — can and will benefit from
