You are the Powder Horn...
A Powder Horn is a container - a vessel to help
sustain the spirit of the outdoorsman in our youth of today. The
propellant that we carry is the knowledge to share with youth through a program of high
adventure.
The spark you create in Scouting can create a flame that endures the
rest of a scout or venturer's life.
Sometimes we become a scouting unit leader by
accident - all of a sudden a briefcase of scouting
records is handed over and you feel a bit over-whelmed.
You may have an idea of what the youth want but aren't
sure how to plan all those lofty goals.
Powder Horn can help you discover:
How to plan high adventure trips.
Where the experts may be that can be a consultant to help us
discover new and exciting skills the youth want to learn.
Powder Horn acts like a smorgasbord of high adventure allowing
you to taste of the experiences and find the ways to make the
adventure happen in your unit.
The most valuable resource in Powder Horn is the consultant, a
person whose expertise will teach skills, as well as, guide and
enhance high-adventure experiences. Powder Horn provides
experts that are often outside of scouting so you can enhance your
base of resources beyond the scout camp facility.
Bring a Buddy
Powder Horn can be more fun and valuable to your home unit if
you bring a buddy along.
It's not required. Your unit can benefit the same way it can
by having more Wood Badge trained adults.
