DO
YOU HAVE FABULOUS IDEAS FROM THE PAST YEAR, PAST AGE LEVELS, PAST TRIPS, ETC.?
PLEASE SHARE THEM ON OUR WEBSITE!!
Why should
each leader “recreate the wheel” when there are so many “seasoned” leaders that
have fabulous ideas and have learned from experience. I’m sure many of you have information on your
computer right now that could help others.
So, help your fellow leaders by sharing your ideas, experiences and
helpful hints. We hope you use it as a
“bounce board” to spring new ideas for your troop. Use the website as a resource yourself!
