Podcast Intro: Do you want to finish your life well? Today in an All-Pro Dad group that I run at my kids' elementary school we talked about finishing well. I talked about trying your best but knowing you will make mistakes in any sport, instrument, or competition that you are involved in. The key is learning from the mistake and then forgetting about it so you can finish well. If you dwell on your mistakes you will not finish well. What about your life? How will you ensure that you will finish well? To finish well we need to plan well. In the world of financial planning, that means turning our dreams into goals and eventually our goals into reality.  Podcast Topic of the Day: You Need Retirement Goals Three Reasons You Need Retirement Goals 1.  Otherwise, it is just a pile of money. People who focus on the dollar amount they have saved and not what they will do with their money have a hard time dreaming. They also have a hard time spending the pile since they spent their whole life focusing on the number. 2.  Goals help you stay MOTIVATED. If you want to finish well, you need motivation. Life is hard and busy so we need to keep our eye on the goals we will finish well. 3.  Goals will determine how much you actually need to save. Maybe you are not saving enough, or perhaps you can afford to enjoy some of life now because you are saving too much. Tune in and listen to the podcast as I share some of the most common dreams and goals people have in retirement. Listen to the end to ensure you will finish well! Podcast Closing Words: We all have a desire to finish well. Once in a while, I imagine myself in my last days. I want to say to myself, “Scott, you finished well.” I want you to say the same thing.

Podcast Intro: Scott starts the podcast by discussing the recent roller coaster ride that has happened in the global financial markets over the past couple of weeks and how the ups and downs can make many people feel out of control. Feeling out of control is often how people feel when they have a lot of debt. Scott mentions that he is teaching Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University (FPU) at his church and his job is to help motivate and provide encouragement to people that have a lot of debt so that soon enough these people will feel in control of their finances. Podcast Topic of the Day: How to do a Budget The topic of the day is How to do a Budget. During the podcast, Scott covers 7 easy steps to create a budget, or a “spending plan” as Scott prefers to call it. According to Scott, all people need a spending plan.  Step #1 for building a spending plan is to acknowledge that both people in the relationship must participate in the development of the spending plan (or budget). If you are single, then you can skip Step #1. Scott discusses how it is likely that one person may be the budget “nerd” and their partner may be the “free spirit”, but it is critical that both participate in the development of the spending plan.   Step #2 for building a spending plan is to acknowledge that you are going to make a zero-dollar budget. In other words, you are going to assign every dollar you make to a budget entry. Step #3 for building a spending plan is to list out all monthly expenses by category. Everything that you spend money on during a month needs to be listed. This list should also include your monthly saving and your monthly giving, and it should cover every dollar of your household take home pay. Scott reviews Dave Ramsey’s basic guidelines that Dave recommends for various expense categories; however, he cautions that these are just basic guidelines and may vary by an individual’s unique situation. The first category Dave recommends placing at the top of your monthly expenses is giving, and Dave recommends starting with 10% of your take home pay be allocated to giving. Even though you may be in debt, it is important to start giving now so that when you are out of debt later in life you can give more. The second category is saving, with a recommended allocation of 10-15%. Depending on how you are saving, you may already be saving 10-15% in a 401(k), therefore, you may not need to save anymore out of your take home pay. The third category is food with a recommended 10-15% allocation. Mortgage or rent is the 4th category with a recommended allocation of 25%. Those that are spending more than 25% on their mortgage or rent often find that there is not a lot of money left to spend in the other budget categories. Your utilities are the 5th category with a 5-10% allocation. Vehicle expenses such as gas, maintenance and oil changes should be allocated at 10% and are the 6th category. Note, this 10% does not typically include car payments. Fun money, or as Scott categorizes in his spending plan, a “flex fund” category should be included next. The fun money or flex fund should be allocated at 5-10% depending on your overall spending plan. The final categories are clothing 5-10%, entertainment 5-10% and a miscellaneous category that is 5-10%. The miscellaneous category is a great category to cover items that are missed or not known at the beginning of the month, such as a birthday party gift for a kid’s birthday that you or your child was invited to. Step #4 is to add up all the irregular expenses that do not occur on a monthly basis. Examples of these irregular expenses are annual car insurance payments, water bills, property tax bills, family birthday gifts, etc. Once you have identified and added up all of these expenses, divide the total by 12 and add a line item to

The law around organ donation is changing in the United Kingdom. From Spring 2020, all adults in England will be considered an organ donor when they die unless they had recorded a decision to opt out. This law was brought in due to the shortage of donors and the amount of people dying whilst waiting on the transplant wait list. This has stirred a bit of an interesting debate in the country and in today's podcast episode, Bimbola and Jo were joined by Elizabeth Ayelabola and Uche Lottee-Anajemba to discuss this interesting topic and come at it from a cultural perspective. Statistics have shown that black families are less likely to say yes to organ donation when approached in hospitals compared to white and asian families.

Bestof2podcast has over the year discussed and shared their opinion on various topics that affects men and women in today's world and we have had a lot of fun doing this.

Happy Easter to you! The Easter message to our podcast listeners is to 'begin to see life through a child's perspective'. The scriptures say (Matthew 18:3-5) - “I’m telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you’re not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in. Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God’s kingdom. What’s more, when you receive the childlike on my account, it’s the same as receiving me. In today's podcast, Bimbola was joined by her young children Bishop & Megan Osagie who were keen to share their thoughts on some life issues from a child's point of view Join us in this discussion via instagram, twitter, facebook or email.

Magazines, television and social media are often blamed for portraying an ideal body image that causes people to question their looks and lose confidence in themselves. We are then encouraged to 'Love our bodies'. But really what does that mean? Does it mean love exactly how you are irrespective of colour, size, body mass, peculiarities etc. Or does it mean loving what you can't change but changing what you can to boost your self? Dieting is a good example of attempts to be a size which may or may not be ones natural body size disposition.   In today's podcast, Bimbola and Jo share their thoughts on what loving your body looks like to a variety of people. There's really no one answer fits all on this topic. It's quite subjective and personal!   Join us in this discussion via instagram, twitter, facebook or email.

In today's society of women empowerment and female equality, being a stay at home mum does not seem to fit within this frame. We continue to stigmatize stay at home mums but really when you sit down with one, you realise they are major contributors to the society in which we live in. In today's podcast, Bimbola & Jo share their thoughts on this topic and celebrate the importance and contribution that stay at home mums make to the community at large Join us in this discussion via instagram, twitter, facebook or email.

Family planning as the name suggest is the practice of controlling the number of children in a family and the intervals between their births. Although it takes 2 to have a child, women have generally been left with the responsibility of family planning. In today's podcast, Bimbola and Jo once again talk about redefining the roles of men and women in this very important decision making. Even if men do not actively participate in family planning, by taking the lead they can have more control over when they become a father.

There are a lot of neat natural ways to find your direction of travel, assess the weather, and whatnot. Hopefully, you never end up lost! But if you do...what is the best thing to do? ----more---- Subscribe: iTunes | Google Play | Android | TuneIn Radio | Stitcher Follow-Up From Previous Episode Listener danteplay sent in his thoughts on our last episode: I'll try to keep it short but I had ideas through the entire Podcast. Great topic! My feeling is the Canadian Path is not jut for the youth. It is also up to Scouters to choose their own path. That may mean turning down some things. Volunteerism is a learned behavior in my opinion. I learned it from my Dad. My pack-aged son is learning it from me. The younger youth also need a proper life balance. My son is a cub helper in colony. He's in pack of course. Swim lesons and house league basketball take up another couple of nights. Yesterday he told me he signed up to be a lunch monitor with the younger grades. He was sad that he couldn't sign up for more than he did due to a conflict with track and field at school. I had to tell him it's ok to not volunteer for everything. We couldn't agree more. Knowing what you can commit to be involved with, and knowing what the limits of your involvement should be...these are both important things. Podcast Topic(s) Ken and Colin sit down to discuss a great article at Atlas Obscura that talks about various natural methods and signs that can be used to find your way (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), or to spot impending weather changes. And then we talk a bit about what to do when one gets lost outdoors. Also, here’s a photo of the Cub Scout handbooks that are mentioned in the episode, which finished printing just before this episode went up:   Shout-Outs The first shout-out goes to Dan, who sent along his thoughts as a new listener: Hello,I found your podcast a few weeks ago and have enjoyed the past couple episodes. I am now going back to review previous episodes. You are doing a great service to Scouting, Thank you! And a second shout-out goes to Matt, from Australia, who wrote in again: G'day GuysI am really impressed with what your podcast brings to my knowledge of the world of scouting. It's great because I have so many different ideas that are outside of the resources available to me in Australia.My Scout den is running JOTA JOTI this year and I would love the chance for my Joeys to be able to talk to some Canada Beaver. Could you please let me know what you have planned and maybe we could make a contact.Also if you ever what to talk about how we do things down under I would be keen to talk.CheersWobbegongMatt Joey leaders have native animals for scout names Thirdly, a shout-out for Paul, who is new to Scouting, and who had a popcorn question: Just started scouting (Scouter Paul of 10th Barrie) also the 10th Barrie treasurer. Went looking for a scouts podcast and found yours. So far great stuff. One question though how do I signup for the Scout/Square partnership to get the $1500 allowance? This is the link to follow for that: http://squ.re/ScoutsCanada17 Finally, as always, a big thank you to the folks at Scouting Radio for rebroadcasting Scouting Stuff episodes to their worldwide Scouting audience.

What are some strategies to keep Scouters — and youth, for that matter — from burning out on Scouting? ----more---- Subscribe: iTunes | Google Play | Android | TuneIn Radio | Stitcher Follow-Up From Previous Episode Scouter Colin — not our Colin; a different one — writes: On your podcast you suggested that you could just charge more to cover the fees. However, this violates the Code of Conduct for the Credit and Debit Card Industry. You can't charge more for credit card payments legally. Some merchants offer discouts for cash payments but you can't just add the 2.4%. So there's that; don't add a surcharge to your popcorn prices if you're taking Square payments! Podcast Topic(s) Is there such a thing as too much Scouting? We'd like to answer “no”, of course, but in truth, it's very much a “yes”; it is both entirely possible, and entirely too easy, to get in over your head when it comes to being involved in the Scouting movement. And this is true for both youth and adults! Shout-Outs Our first shout out goes to Artillerist, who left us a five star review on iTunes: It is a great podcast and there is many new things I am learning. And Scouter Mike — our guest on the show last week — left us a review on Facebook: Great conversation with Great Scouters! Learn something new every episode and feel energized and renewed about facilitating the adventure of Scouting! Relatedly, you can apparently leave us reviews on Facebook.

We take a look at a few different myths and misconceptions about Scouts and Scouting in Canada. Subscribe: iTunes | Google Play | Android | TuneIn Radio | Stitcher | Anchor ----more---- Podcast Topic(s) Ken is joined again by Regan, the Area Support Manager (ASM) for Scouts Canada's Northern Lights Council (which covers northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories), this time to discuss some of the myths and misconceptions about Scouts — and Scouting in Canada — that have cropped up over the years. Source: http://wiki.scouts.ca/en/Scouting_Myths And a Correction: The Scouts Canada wiki disclaims its content thusly: “This is not a site of official Scouts Canada information, rather it is a resource containing both official and member-contributed materials...This is not a definitive source of information for Scouts Canada programs, but is provided to help those who deliver them.” We didn't reference this in the episode, and instead interpreted the wiki as being a de facto official source.

Scouts Canada has seen steady growth in membership, so we ask: how can you — yes, you — foster group growth? Subscribe: iTunes | Google Play | Android | TuneIn Radio | Stitcher ----more---- Podcast Topic(s) State of the Podcast It turns out that Scouting Stuff is doing rather well on the iTunes charts, all things considered. We're ranked #165 on the top 200 Government and Organizations podcasts in Canada, and #72 in the Non-Profit sub-category thereof. And we are doing even better in the United Kingdom, where we rank #115 and #52, respectively. And we're one of the Featured Podcasts at our podcast host! So: a big thank you to everyone who listens to the podcast, and who has subscribed to it, and to whomever nominated us to Podbean for the featured spot. It's very humbling to see Scouting Stuff doing as well as it is, and it is all due to you...the listeners. Scouting Renaissance in Canada Scouting, as a movement, has seen steady growth in Canada; this year, seventeen of the country's twenty Scouts Canada councils are on track to see their membership increase. And our own council, Northern Lights, has the highest number of areas with 10% (or more) growth! Which leads us to ask: how do you grow a Scout group? And in a way, this gets us back to Retention. That's a topic we covered a while ago, back in Episode 6. Shout-Outs We'd like to give a big shout-out and thank you to the people who've left us reviews on iTunes:   As always, a big thank you to the folks at Scouting Radio for rebroadcasting Scouting Stuff episodes to their worldwide Scouting audience.

Definitely entertaining and very informative, not gonna lie though, your commercials can take forever haha. But I suppose they're a necessary evil. Anyway, I've been working out for a solid 2 years. I have my phases of falling out here and there for a few weeks due to school, but I'm working on getting my shit together and being serious all the time. My biggest problem, as with most people I'm sure, is nutrition. I don't eat bad at all, my problem is that I don't eat nearly enough. I usually eat quite clean but I definitely slack in the eating department. In my first year I put on that beginner muscle and went from 165-180 and I have always been quite lean. However I have not been able to really break 180. I'm a 6'2, high metabolism ectomorph and while weight doesn't necessarily matter, I'd like to put a few more inches of muscle on all around. It seems like 200-210 is the sweet spot I'm aiming for. So, since I've beat around the bush, it's time t o get on with my question, afterall, it's the quotation of the day, the damn statement of the day. How do you recommend going into a bulking diet? More specifically, should I ease into upping my caloric intake or is it okay to go from about 1000 calories or less a day to 3500 calories a day over night? I have read articles online but I'd love to hear your take. Thank you very much for reading my question fellas. I really appreciate hearing a response.

Great podcast. Just wondering if you ever heard of anyone puting swimming as part of their cardio. It seems like people always run or cycle or mayyyybe do kickboxing but I've never heard of anyone adding swimming. It seems like it'd be the most complete cardio one could do. Is it just a timing thing? Does getting ready for the pool after a workout and then showering before and after you get out of the pool just add too much time to the workout? Anyway, personally, I try to add swimming to my workout when possible. Thanks. Daria Hi guys! I'm sending this message all the way from San Francisco, CA. It has taken me forever to find a fitness podcast that is super informative without all the fluff and science jargon. NYMR is entertaining and very relatable. I listen to your podcast religiously and I'm not even religious! Anyway, I have a diet and fitness related question: 1.) I'm am a 35 year old female standing at 5'9" weighing at 142lbs w/ 14% body fat (via Hydrostatic). My ultimate goal is to be super lean. Although 14% BF is relatively low, I would like to be more shredded/cut. Based on my Hydrostatic test, I currently burn 1730 calories resting. Listening to your podcast, I know that I should be at a deficit if I want to lose more fat or get shredded. How much of a deficit is ideal? I'm currently averaging a 150-300 calorie deficit. 2.) My main form of fitness is Crossfit (which includes conditioning and strength training i.e. deadlift, squatting, cleans, snatching) but I also lift weights at your old regular gym (aka bro gym'ing) 1-2x/week. I understand that cardio is not the most ideal for muscle gain/fat loss, but HIIT is acceptable. How is Crossfit and HIIT different? And does Crossfit affect my goal to shred/cut? Crossfit makes me strong and I LOVE how it makes me feel after a workout. But if I'm being honest, I want to look good, too. What is the happy medium? Thanks guys! Looking forward to trying your coffein + BCAA! Taria (pronounced like Daria the cartoon) ——————————————— Podcast Topic  Today we have on a special guest Paul Revelia from Pro Physiques.

Let's learn a little bit about the history and operations of one of the most amazing Scout Camps in Canada. Subscribe: iTunes | Google Play | Android | TuneIn Radio | Stitcher ----more---- Podcast Topic(s) This is an encore presentation of last week's episode; we published the audio for Episode 33 by mistake, and although we corrected this quickly, some podcatching software evidently didn't re-download the audio for this episode. Mark Little, the Council Commissioner for Chinook Council (the Scouts Canada Council for Calgary, Alberta and surrounding area; one of the largest Councils in Canada) speaks with Ken about Camp Impeesa, an adventure camp in southern Alberta that Ken asserts is the crown jewel of Scout Camps in Canada. The aim of Camp Impeesa is to be one of the best places for youth to go away from home for the first time, and to become a full-on adventure base for Scouts — from Canada, the US, and around the world — to come to for challenging adventures and opportunities to explore. Shout-Outs Mark Little would like to acknowledge the Chinook Foundation, whose financial support has kept the camp running through difficult periods, the Chinook Council leadership team, and the Scout groups who attend Impeesa year after year. And, as always, a big thank you to the folks at Scouting Radio for rebroadcasting Scouting Stuff episodes to their worldwide Scouting audience.

The aim of Camp Impeesa is to be one of the best places for youth to go away from home for the first time, and to become a full-on adventure base for Scouts — from Canada, the US, and around the world — to come to for challenging adventures and opportunities to explore. Shout-Outs Mark Little would like to acknowledge the Chinook Foundation, whose financial support has kept the camp running through difficult periods, the Chinook Council leadership team, and the Scout groups who attend Impeesa year after year.

We discuss the Ernest Poole Scout Camp near Edmonton, Alberta, and the possibility that it will be sold off to the LDS Church in the near future. Subscribe: iTunes | Google Play | Android | TuneIn Radio | Stitcher ----more---- Podcast Topic(s) Ken and Colin sit down to discuss the Ernest Poole Scout Camp (located on Wabamun Lake, which is about an hour's drive to the west of Edmonton) and the proposal that it be sold off to the Latter Day Saints church. Notably, the LDS would — in this arrangement — maintain the property as a camp, which Scouts would still have access to. We compare this to the fate of the former Skeleton Lake Scout Camp, which was sold to a developer and is now lakefront properties. Open invitation: We want to hear from you with your stories of property management issues, camps being sold off, and suchlike. Get in touch by one of the means detailed below! Shout-Outs We'd like to give a shout-out to Justin Dawson (of Scouting Radio); he took the time recently to do an interview with Ken, which made for a great opportunity to compare and contrast the (very similar, in some respects) Scouting programs in Ireland and Canada.

Scouting offers a very unique opportunity for modern youth to disconnect from their always online, device-driven lives. Subscribe: iTunes | Google Play | Android | TuneIn Radio | Stitcher ----more---- Podcast Topic(s) Trevor Nimegeers wrote an open letter to Scouts Canada on LinkedIn a few weeks ago in which he argued for various reasons why “all Canadians should care” about Scouts Canada. One of the things he highlighted was the perhaps unique opportunity not just to use technology in new and innovative ways, but also to disconnect from technology entirely and take time to discover themselves. We take some time to discuss this, especially in light of Ken's recent experiences on a “device free” Cub Camp. Shout-Outs A big shout-out to the 59th Greenfield/Royal Gardens Scout Group's Green Troop for their excellent work in planning and running a camp for the Group's Cub Packs.

We chose a simple model to limit the skill aspect and showed that people doing daily 1RM’s followed by additional exercise volume are likely getting nothing from the added exercise volume or muscle size (with respect to strength). Say what you say about muscle growth in trained people for strength, here it did not augment strength. Say what you say about doing more exercise volume, here it did not augment strength. Say what you say about having “greater potential” to increase strength, here it did nothing. Say what you say about having “greater practice” with movement, here it did nothing. For strength, specificity is king…not muscle growth…and certainly not exercise volume.   “Our results suggest that the specificity of exercise, as opposed to exercise volume or muscle growth, are responsible for the magnitude of training-induced increases in 1RM strength. Additionally, the performance of familiarization sessions to eliminate the learning effect associated with 1RM testing is likely inappropriate. Therefore, individuals looking to increase 1RM strength should focus on the principle of specificity by practicing the 1RM test, and strength improvements are unlikely to be augmented by additional exercise volume.” j     ———————————————   Listener Question of the Day   If you have a question you would like us to answer for you submit it on our website: www.newyorkmuscleradio.com/listenerquestion   Question –   Listener from Vancouver BC Canada   Found your podcast through the iTunes and been enjoying ever since.

Scouts Canada recently changed their youth/leader ratio requirements for the Beaver Scout, Cub Scout, and Scout sections Subscribe: iTunes | Google Play | Android | TuneIn Radio | Stitcher ----more---- Podcast Topic(s) Scouts Canada recently changed their policy on youth-leader ratio. You can find out some information about what the ratios were before on the Scouts Canada wiki; the new ratio requirements are one Scouter for every eight youth (with a minimum of two Scouters) across all sections. That's right: the “Two Deep” rule still applies. We dive in and discuss what this change might mean for Scout groups, as well as look at some of the potential pros and cons of it. Shout-Outs Scouter Joe, who sent in some email feedback, and the Canadian Scout Collectibles Facebook group that he runs.

Well, according to the official website: “Jamboree-On-The-Air and Jamboree-On-The-Internet (JOTA-JOTI) is an official international event of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM). JOTA-JOTI is a youth programme event intended for young people in Scouting of all ages.

The official website has some basic rules for participation by radio, and over the internet — which includes both netiquette and online safety. It is recommended that participants use the official, moderated IRC channels (and TeamSpeak channels) provided by ScoutLink.

The Queen's Venturer Award is the capstone award for Venturer Scouts, and can almost be thought of as the Canadian analog of the Eagle Scout rank. Subscribe on iTunes | Subscribe on Google Play | Subscribe on Android | Like Us on Facebook | Follow Us on Twitter----more----Podcast Topic(s) Ken and Colin discuss the Queen's Venturer Award (good historical information, but out-of-date requirements), the Top Section Award for Venturer Scouts. Under the new Canadian Path program that Scouts Canada has launched, the requirements for the award have changed significantly, especially since one of the principal requirements is the completion of a meaningful service project at the local, national, or international level. Venturer Scouts are youth aged 14-17, and it is generally understood that one has up to a year after the end of one's time in Venturers to complete the requirements of the Queen's Venturer Award. As such, achieving the award can be thought of as the equivalent of achieving Eagle Scout rank in Boy Scouts of America.Shout-Outs As always, a big thank you to the folks at Scouting Radio for rebroadcasting Scouting Stuff episodes to their worldwide Scouting audience.

Whether it's called Swim-Up or Advancement, how do we celebrate when youth progress through the Scouting movement? Now Available on Google Play Music | Subscribe on iTunes | Subscribe on Android | Like Us on Facebook | Follow Us on Twitter----more----Podcast Topic(s) What is advancement? How does advancement differ between Boy Scouts of America, Scouts Canada, and other Scouting organizations around the world? Is advancement age-restricted, or can it happen more organically? Should an individual youth's advancement be celebrated by a Scout Group? If so, how so? Ken and Colin attempt to answer these questions, and also look at badge programs and — yes — Scouts Canada's Canadian Path program as well. Mentioned in the episode: The Scoutmaster CG Podcast, by Clarke GreeneShout-Outs Colin's sister Katherine, who recently hiked the El Camino de Santiago de Compostela — commonly know as The Camino — in Spain.Send Feedback Email Us | Leave Us a Voice Message | Follow Us on Twitter | Like Us on Facebook | Leave Us a ReviewMusic Galizur, by John Zorn & The Dreamers

Colin phones in from all the way across Canada to discuss advancement and summer Scouting programs. Now Available on Google Play Music | Subscribe on iTunes | Subscribe on Android | Like Us on Facebook | Follow Us on Twitter----more----Podcast Topic(s) We missed recording this last week, in part because Ken was at the Northern Lights Council's Beaveree, and in part because every attempt at recording made in the week thereafter fell through for one reason or another. Additionally, Colin is vacationing in Prince Edward Island, which meant coordinating around a three-hour time difference. This episode doesn't really have a set topic; it lays the foundations for two upcoming episodes that will look at advancement and summer programs for Scouts (and Cubs, and Beavers). Oh, and Ken's daughters — both in Beaver Scouts — share their thoughts on Beaveree.Send Feedback Email Us: scoutingstuffpodcast@gmail.com Follow Us on Twitter: @ssyskpodcast Like Us on Facebook: facebook.com/ScoutingStuffPodcast Leave Us a Review: on iTunesMusic Galizur, by John Zorn & the Dreamers

It was Emergency Preparedness Week last week...which, at least for our Canadian crew, has been given a very pointed example in the Fort McMurray fires. Now Available on Google Play Music | Subscribe on iTunes | Subscribe on Android | Like Us on Facebook | Follow Us on Twitter----more----Podcast Topic(s) Emergency situations can come up quickly and with little warning, although some kinds of emergencies can be forecast in advance. Some emergencies require you to shelter in place, while others require you to evacuate from your home and find shelter elsewhere...sometimes for a little while, and sometimes for weeks or even months. How can you prepare your home and your family for emergencies? How do you have the discussion about what to take, in an evacuation situation, and what to leave behind? Scouting is all about being prepared...so let's look at some ways to be prepared for emergencies.

You'll meet a lot of people at a Jamboree or a Scout Camp. Why not trade them for a memento?Subscribe on iTunes | Subscribe on Android | Like Us on Facebook | Follow Us on Twitter----more----Podcast Topic(s)Ken and Colin talk about one of the time-honoured traditions of Scout Camps and international events (such as Jamborees): badge trading. And not just badge trading, but necker trading, and even uniform trading. Trading another Scout for a memento of your meeting, such as a badge or a necker, can be a very rewarding and enriching experience when at a Jamboree...as long as it's a fair trade.Shout-OutsA big shout-out this week to Chris, Brad, and Jos from BioWare, who graciously volunteered their time to come and discuss (board) game design with the Beaver Scout groups that Ken leads.MusicGalizur, by John Zorn & The Dreamers

Effectively leading a Scout group, at any age level, means having good communication between the leaders.Subscribe on iTunes | Subscribe on Android | Like Us on Facebook | Follow Us on Twitter----more----Shout-OutsFirstly, we'd like to give a shout-out to whomever nominated Scouting Stuff for inclusion on Podbean's list of Featured Podcasts under the Government & Organizations category. That is a curated list, and for a podcast to appear thereupon, the listeners of that podcast must nominate it for consideration. So, whoever did that: a shout-out to you!And we'd also like to give a shout-out to Kelly Bruce, who sent us a message on Facebook. Our apologies, Kelly; we weren't able to bring Brian on board for this episode, so we weren't able to set up a compare-and-contrast discussion concerning Kub Kars and the Pinewood Derby. But that's coming soon!Podcast Topic(s)This week, Ken and Colin discuss an important facet of effectively running a Scout group, regardless of what section it is or what the ages of the youth are. That facet is communication between the leaders. And in addition to stressing how important it is to have an effective communication channel between all your leaders that all of them are willing to participate in, we touch on the need for a succession plan in your group's leadership structure, and also emphasize the benefits of planning weeks or months worth of events in advance.Also, as promised, you can find some information about Scouts Canada's Scouters Five concept here, and here.MusicGalizur, by John Zorn & The Dreamers

Truth be told, I find it difficult to approach the issue of the Codex's (and Ultima Aiera's) anniversary, unless I spend weeks in advance preparing and revising (and re-revising) the text. I haven't had time for that this year, so this podcast episode serves as a stand-in for that.
