An Hour A Week?
About The Show
An Hour A Week? was started in January 2005 as a response to discussions with other Leaders about the “meeting after the meeting”. The meeting that usually happens in parking lots after Roundtables, Pack and Den Meetings, or Leader Meetings. The show covers topics important to most Scout leaders and parents, primarily focusing on the Cub Scout program.
About The Host
Cubmaster Chris is the host of our flag ship show. Chris has been involved with Scouting as a leader since 2001. He is currently a District Trainer, Cub Scout Day Camp Program Director and Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner and has been a Cubmaster, Den Leader and Troop Committee Chairman & member. He has also taught at his Council Pow-Wow on several occasions.
He lives in central Texas with his 2 boys (15 and 10 years). He runs an advertising agency during the day. He likes to camp (of course) and hang out with his boys playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band (sometimes you can catch him singing on uStream).
