At your Pack Meetings, show off each month what your Scouts have done. The parents and the other members of the Pack can see what they have done and talk to the Scouts about their projects and something one Den did one month might be something your Den would want to do another month using a different approach.
To plan the Pack Meeting use a copy of my Planning the Pack Year 2004-2005. (99KB)
and always get your parents to fill out the Parent Interest Sheet so you can know the special interests and hobbies that can give your Den and Pack that extra spark. (27KB)
To get the most out of your Planning in your Den and Pack you should have your Committee Meeting after your Roundtable night so you can get the latest information from your District Executive on events that are planned in your District and Council.
Also, you will get the extra Roundtable Resources that are found in the RT Commissioners Guide book for each month. If you haven't visited the Roundtable section of this web site you might want to check out the issues of the American Elm District Roundtable Newsletter that you could have access to by attending YOUR Roundtable. Your RT Commissioner will get the access # each month from me to pass on to you.
As a leader you need to check out the Training section of this web site to see what Training you need to take and in what order to get the most out of the training.
Every Scout deserves a Trained Leader and every Leader could use the support that you get from Training.
While at Training you net work with your peers and seasoned Scouters who have a wealth of experience to draw from. You learn while at the Training but also you continue to be connected to other Scouters years later.
The best plan to succeed as a Scout Leader is to plan your work and work your plan:
Volunteer to work your District or Council Events -- they are run by volunteer Scouters just like you who started in the Dens too.
We are always looking for good help --and the events really benefit from the extra help.
Ask someone to be a mentor -- it's a great way to make friends.
Remember to have FUN and create lots of memories!
