If you are scout leader or merit badge counselor looking for ideas or material to use, it really is slim pickin’s on the web. Not much material is out there, and what is out there is not very useful. My hat’s off to meritbadge.com for being a very useful resource, and to that guy who put a lot of effort into those merit badge passports.
Unfortunately, neither really gave me what I was looking for – quality training material. I’ve gone seeking powerpoints, checklists, trip planning ideas, good simple handouts for knots, etc. with no success. There is a niche out there that needs to be filled. My idea is to put up what I’ve produced, express my views on the subject of scouting today, and hopefully find the like minded parents out there that see the benefits of building a collective resource library for all to share, build, and improve. This is all about helping our kids better prepare for life and having a positive scouting experience.
If you’ve got anything to share don’t hesitate to send across. If you want my original .ppt files, happy to send, just let me know. Some are too big to post.
I do realize the raw beginnings of this site are a bit provincial. I applogize for that, but I am just posting material on things I know about. Hopefully over time this resource site can reach far and wide.
