Knots in ten minutes: our patrol leaders' teaching game

Four short clips and a printable card. Ready for your next meeting.

Liam, Troop 61Tried this with our new scouts. The relay version is a hit!
Ms. Ortiz, Pack 45@Troop 123 can we use the card at our den meeting?

Every interest has a group

Most troops have one kid who’s wild about robotics, or astronomy, or long-distance treks. Here, that kid finds dozens more, and a coach who knows the subject inside out.

Coaches are registered leaders and merit badge counselors with youth protection training. They help in the open group, with two trained adults in every conversation.

Examples

Plan the big stuff together

Camporees, service days, a shared trip to the coast. Post it once and units nearby can sign up. Permission slips and payments are handled for every family, whichever troop they’re in.

  • Open an outing to units nearby, or anywhere
  • Find a troop to share a campsite or a bus
  • One roster for the whole event, by unit and patrol

Example

Nobody has to start from scratch

A new pack with one trained leader. A troop whose gear washed away in a flood. A crew stranded without a van a week before their trek. Post what you need, and units nearby, or across the country, step up.

  • Lend tents, stoves and trailers to a troop that needs them
  • Coach a new unit through its first year
  • Share seats, campsites and know-how

Requests and offers come from registered leaders, and everything is arranged leader to leader.

Troops post the games and skill sessions their scouts loved, ready to run next week.
