#75-Feedback

It's an old show, but it does cover the feedback we've gotten since October or so. We hope you enjoy it.

CC: On a personal note, I would like to dedicate this show to my Scouting friend and co-host, Steve.

Tonight's show sponsored by ClassB.com

Hi Guys,

Another interesting show. I thought I'd fill you in on a few bits of UK info.

We have to complete Risk Assessments on all activities we do, beit Beavers, Cubs or Scouts. Basically we have to look for all risks, fill these in on a form and put on the form ways we minimise the risk (that's a VERY simplified description, but you get the idea).

Wood Badge is different here. When you complete your training, which is made specific to the type of Leader you are (Cub, Scout, Group Scout Leader etc), you gain your Wood Badge. There is no extra training course here like the Wood Badge is over there, but we have to do continuous training to keep us up to date. If you are interested in reading more about our traning programme, please take a look here.

As to discussing some UK Scouting, you know where I am!

That was a good show…sorry that I get so long-winded with my words…

By the way, the outtakes at the end were almost as classic as the outtakes at the end of "Grumpy, Old Men" and "Grumpier, Old Men"…you two sounded like Matthau and Lemmon…

Following on from Scoutmaster steves comments about the US having to many badges(Patches) I thought you would all be intrested in this iphone app http://www.bragvest.com/ I think the name says it all.
