Good stuff. I remember planning the camporee, and staffing any event. There's a lot of work to be done, but "many hands make light work" is very true in a district or council event.

Recruit people you know you can count on, and recruit them for jobs that suit them. Then, once the plan is made, let them loose. You'll have a great event, but the key is to have the right people with you.

Second, as Cubmaster Chris always says, "Always have a Plan B." This is for ANY event, pack or troop meeting, district event, training class, anything.

My own advice along those lines is, "They don't know how it was supposed to be." If you can improvise and seamlessly execute your plan B, no matter what snag comes up, no one will ever know. No matter how well planned your event is, something will not go right. The important thing is not what didn't happen right, but how you react to it.

Thanks for the great shows.
