Scouting Websites of the Week
Scouters Academy 2008
Our Council had their annual Scouter’s Academy this past weekend. For those of you that have never been (this was my first) it is a day of training for scout leaders on a wide variety of areas that help make you a better leader for your boys as well as give you great ideas. This year, they are providing all the handouts from the various classes on a website for anyone that is interested in looking. Want Ideas for crafts at your den meeting or for neckerchief slides? Go have a look!!
It will not be available though till after the Pack meeting. Just too much good stuff to upload… http://sa08.georgiabsa.com
