Scouter Renewal Reminder
- Scouter renewal season is a great timeto check in with your team...
- What was a great success that you had this year?
- What is something you learned?
- Do you have any suggestions for me, as GC, to improve on for our Group next year?
- Are you interested in returning to the same role?
- Is there a different role you would like to try, or even just learn about next year?
These types of questions and check-ins will help you to plan for youth capacity, as well as succession planning for the coming Scouting year.
Don't forget to do GCAP approval for renewed Scouters.
