I went fishing not too long ago and was doing pretty well. Night crawlers and crickets seemed to be the bait of choice that day. Right after lunch, I ran out of bait so I decided to use some ham and cheese left over from my sandwich. Much to my dismay, the fish did not think much of my ham and cheese and quit biting.

Sitting there somewhat bored, I thought of something Baden-Powell said years ago. “Teaching Scouts is like fishing. If you want to keep them interested, you have to give them what they want; not what you want” Are you using the right bait in your units?

In 1910, the founder of Scouting, Baden-Powell, said this:

“Abler men than I, I suppose, can keep their boys busy and progressing in knowledge without working on any special system; I confess that I cannot. The only way by which, personally, I can effect anything is by laying down definite programmes beforehand and working with them.

“It is scarcely exaggeration to say that the results obtained by a systematic plan of work have four times the value of those where arrangements have been haphazard. It is good for their character to teach boys also to plan their work beforehand; and, knowing what they are aiming for, they become twice as keen.”

I guess another way to look at what Baden-Powell was telling us is,

The object of the game is to score as many points as possible while staying within the rules. At the end of the game, the patrol with the most points wins. 2. The challenge is to stand somewhere on the marked tape and successfully toss pieces of candy into the container. The piece must come to rest in the container (a HIT). If the piece misses the container or bounces out, it is a MISS and no points are scored. 3. One point is scored for each HIT. 4. Distance bonus points are possible with each HIT. One bonus point is awarded for each foot of distance the player stands from the container while scoring a HIT.

No distance bonus points are awarded for a MISS. 5. Each player gets three pieces of candy. 6. One practice round is allowed before scoring begins. Each player is allowed three practice tosses in the practice round. (Points will be deducted if they practice beyond the rules.)

Your TG does the scoring. The observer will remain silent throughout the game and will not reveal your score until the game is over. 9. The patrol leader is in charge at all times. 10. The patrol must complete the practice round and scoring round in no more than 10 minutes.
