1,000 plays and downloads!

Meet Me at the Grizz just crossed 1,000 plays and downloads.
When I started the podcast, the idea was pretty simple, share some stories about Rotary Scout Reservation, talk about summer camp and Scouting, and hopefully create something useful for Scouts, parents, leaders, staff and alumni.

It's been great watching that little idea continue to grow.

Thank you to everyone who's listened, shared an episode, sent me an idea, or joined me at the Grizz.

On to the next 1,000.

Summer camp may have just ended, but planning for next summer starts now.

In Season 1, Episode 2 of Meet Me at the Grizz, I talked about why some of the best summer camp experiences at Rotary Scout Reservation begin months before anyone packs a backpack or heads down the hill.

Fall is the time for troops to start the conversation: choosing camp, getting dates on the calendar, talking with families, helping new Scouts know what to expect, and beginning to build excitement for the adventure ahead.

If your troop is already thinking about next summer, or if you have Scouts who will be making their first trip to summer camp, this is a great episode to revisit.

🎙️ Planning for Summer Camp: Why It Starts Now

Listen below or wherever you get your podcasts!

Because a great week at camp doesn’t begin on Sunday afternoon. It begins with the planning you do now.

It’s fall — and that means it’s time to plan for next summer’s adventure at Rotary Scout Reservation! Learn how early planning, fundraising, and engaging Webelos now set your troop up for success. Join Ken Clough for insights, inspiration, and Scouting America spirit on Meet Me at the Grizz.

The journey to your first Scouts BSA summer camp doesn't begin when you arrive at camp.

It begins with the Arrow of Light.

It begins with crossing over into a troop.

It begins with parents asking questions, leaders offering encouragement, and Scouts getting excited about the adventure ahead.

In this episode of Meet Me at the Grizz, we explore the transition from Webelos to Scouts BSA and why preparing for summer camp starts long before the first tent is pitched.

Whether you're a Scout, a parent, a Cub Scout leader, or a Scouts BSA leader, this episode is for you.

Listen wherever you find your podcasts.

Have a Webelos or Arrow of Light Scout getting ready to cross over into Scouts BSA?

The journey to their first Scouts BSA summer camp begins long before they arrive at camp.

In the newest episode of Meet Me at the Grizz, we explore the transition from Cub Scouts to Scouts BSA and how Scouts, parents, Cub Scout leaders, den leaders, and troop leaders can work together to make that first summer camp experience a success.

In this episode, we'll talk about:
🏕️ Why the Arrow of Light is the bridge to the next adventure
⚜️ How Cub Scout resident camp prepares Scouts for Scouts BSA resident camp
👦 What new Scouts can expect during their first week at camp
👨‍👩‍👧 How parents can support their Scout while encouraging independence
👕 The transition from Cub Scout volunteer to Scouts BSA leader
⛺ Why planning for next summer's camp should begin now

The Arrow of Light isn't the end of the Cub Scout journey; it's the beginning of a new adventure.

Most people think Scout camp is where Scouts learn.

This summer, I realized it's also where Scout leaders learn.

Some of the most valuable moments at camp don't happen in a merit badge session. They happen in conversations between Scoutmasters, committee members, district volunteers, and camp staff, sharing ideas, solving problems, and helping one another build stronger troops.

That's the focus of this week's episode of Meet Me at the Grizz.

🎙️ Camp Is Where Scout Leaders Learn, Too
