*Review!
1. Use "workbook" instead of the "after meeting shuffle."
2. Have parent affirm the Rangers achievement.
3. Review by Commander one on one.
4. Ranger stands before "Dad Patrol" as a "Board of Review"
and double check on progress-attitude and achievement.
============
Duane,
I've started using one of the workbooks found on the net. It has
spaces to fill for "Name and describe..." or "list..." This way I can
see that the boy has it done and can just sign off. It also has
places for "Parent's Signature" for things that need to be done at
home (cooking, making beds, etc.).
I've also started having a regular "Patrol Corners". I'm
encouraging the boys to test each other on advancements so they're
ready when they get to me, and I also use that time to sign off those
boys who are ready. I've been getting to an average 2 boys/night this
way.
Lastly, I don't have a Board of Review, but I went through a
couple as a Trail Ranger and strongly encourage it. I talked to a Boy
Scout Councilman once who said it was the safeguard for the system.
Boys were rearly denied an advancement, but if they were unprepared to
do what the advancement required they were told to go back and review.
Dale
