Greetings Scout Leaders, do you find it challenging to develop great questions for the Board Of Reviews? For those of you who do not know, a Board of Review happens when a Boy Scout has completed all the requirements for a rank. The board members ask various questions to ensure that Scout is ready. If the board passes the Scout, then they earn that rank, else they may have something they need to work on and will appear before the board again at a later date.

 

Remember, the goal of the board, above all, is, is to evaluate the health of the unit. How is the overall spirit/soul of the unit? Are there areas the unit could be doing better? Where is the unit doing well? What do the scouts think of how the unit is doing?

 

Keep in mind many of the questions, as phrased below, are probably more for higher ranks. So use your best judgment on what questions are appropriate for the scout before you.

 

It is common for board members to ask questions like tie this knot or tell me about an experience you had on a campout. But what about questions that require more thought?

 

So here are some questions...

 

If you were asked to remove two points from the scout law and replace them with two new words, what would they be and why?

 

Tell us about something that went wrong on a recent activity, what did you learn from it and what can be done differently next time?

 

What is your least favorite thing about Scouting & why?

 

Can you tell me about how you recently demonstrated Scout Spirit at school?

 

What does Reverent mean to you?

 

What is your favorite subject at school & why?

 

Is there an activity you wish the troop would do but has not and why?

 

Tell us about your favorite service project you have done since you were a scout? What makes it so special?

 

 

With that, please take a few quick moments to fill out our survey to help us have a better idea on how we can continue to improve InsaneScouter and what might be the most useful to you.

 (From "Patches and Pins..." by Mike Walton (c) 1994. )When I was growing up in Rose Terrace, just about everyone did car washes to raise money for some organization or another. A car wash was cheap to run....get some detergent, some sponges and old shirts, towels and some dishwashing liquid. And lots of water. Go out someplace hopefully on a sunny, clear day, set up the signage, and you're in business!Not a lot of people spend time like they used to washing their cars. It used to be a Saturday morning or afternoon ritual....but then, that's why we made a ......

Morgan Phillips was a shy 14-year-old when she attended her first Venturing meeting. She left that meeting unconvinced that Scouting was for her. But her dad encouraged her to keep at it, providing that gentle nudge all teenagers eventually need. Morgan’s glad he did, because she says Scouting helped her build confidence to try things beyond her comfort zone. In the five years since, she has performed songs and silly skits at crowded campfires, given speeches to large groups of adults, and taught classes to other Scouts and Venturers. “None of these are things I thought I would be doing ......

Some of the most indelible non-Scouting memories from my childhood are of watching Jeopardy! with my parents. This wasn’t entertainment; it was competition. After school, we’d fire up the VCR to watch the latest episode as a family. I’d grab a yellow legal pad and pen from my dad’s desk, sit down cross-legged and scoot as close to the TV as I could before pushing play on the remote. Win or lose, we were keeping score. My love of Jeopardy! has continued into adulthood, and I join fans around the world who were heartbroken to learn that Alex Trebek died ......
