S1 EP4: What Happens at a Troop Meeting?

Your child has just joined a Scouts BSA Troop. Now what? Listen as I guide you through what happens from the time you show up until the time all the tables and chairs are put away, and the lights turn off. There's not much for an adult to do at a Troop Meeting, but what happens after might be even more important. Are you interested in Scouting? Click here [www.beascout.org] for more information.

S1 EP2: Registering New Members

Registering new members can be tricky, especially if you are unsure of the process. Whether you are the New Member Coordinator, or the one registering the new member, I go over some tips to hopefully make it smoother. I also go on a tangent and talk about adult leader training and why it is important, as well as why it is important to not just show up to meetings but be more involved with other activities. If you are looking for more information about Scouting in your area, go to beascout.org [https://beascout.scouting.org/] and just put in your zip code to find a unit near you. Thank you for listening, and join me in two weeks for another episode!
