This paper (which will be out monthly) is ideal to hand to your Patrol Leader Council, as it has lists of ideas and resources that they can use in their programs, immediately or in the future. Helpful for Scoutmasters and other leaders looking to shake things up, or simply for more ideas! The best part is, everything was generated by the 15 leaders who attended the meeting, nearly all of them Troop leaders just like you.
