Organizing Our Scout Troop
Posted by Buzz on June 13, 2009
When I decided that I was going to be a Scout leader, I decided that I wanted to be able to give the kids that I would be leading the same structured and fun type of program that I experienced in my youth. It was one of those memories that I have kept for my lifetime, and I hoped that the kids under my supervision would have a similar experience.
But the one thing that has changed since I was a kid is technology. In fact, with the Internet being available to us now, I was really looking forward to the opportunity that it presented for us to interact with the kids and parents and to have a central place for them to know the times and locations of all of our meetings and outings.
After a bit of searching, we found an article about Scout troop management software that would work perfectly for us. One of our leaders was a little hesitant (since she was not very computer savvy), but after all of us leaders sitting down for an evening, we were able to sort things out.
I would like to think that the scout software has provided us a better way to keep our scout troop organized and keep the parents informed. Besides, it also follows the principles of Scouting because it is friendlier to the environment.
