Counting Blessings: Baden Powell University

Today's Blessing:  Awesome Ideas!!

What a fun day!  I left early this morning and traveled to Harrisville to attend "Baden Powell University", a supplemental adult training that is chuck full of awesome scouting ideas.

This guy shared such fun ideas!
He must have over 1,000 neckerchief slides!

A slide and neckerchief holder!
I loved this idea
so he let me share it in my class! :)

I don't work directly with the boys in my unit, but I do serve on Roundtable Staff and share ideas with fellow Webelos Scout Leaders to help them in their scouting assignments.  I figured I could attend different Cub Scout classes today that would give me ideas for future Roundtable meetings.

I think the whole idea of Baden Powell University is to pump up the leaders and get them rejuvenated again!  I came home tonight feeling so excited to share and do many of the ideas I learned about.  It made me wish I was a den leader or cubmaster again so I could incorporate the ideas with the boys!!

And my Webelos Wood Projects class that I taught in the afternoon turned out great!  The leaders loved the simple wood projects ideas and really enjoyed making the Key Ring Racks.  I totally had extra supplies so some of the leaders made two!  It made me happy to know I helped make someone else's assignment a little bit easier!  And I was benefited from the day also!  It was great!! :)  Plus!...I received two patches!!..a participant patch and a staff patch!  I love patches! :)
