About the author

I'm an avid skier and snowboarder and a former member of the National Ski Patrol. I take long mountain-bike rides with my dog every morning (except in the winter, when we cross-country ski), and then spend the next couple of hours on my farm writing and editing my books. (No office . . . I usually just sit on the tailgate of my truck.) I am a licensed pilot, a certified scuba diver, and an Advanced EMT.

Great book. Lots of great examples of ways to make Scouting more interesting for the boys. It's focused on Boy Scouts, but I think some of the concepts can work even with Tigers. I just wish it the book had been longer!

3.5 stars

A motivational book for scout leaders, with plenty of applicable tips for cubs. This helps me remember why scouting is important and fun and inspires me to be a little better. Some funny stories.

cute. makes me want to get up and do, but I think it was geared more towards boy scouts instead of cub scouts.

A great book every Scout leader should read!

[Alanna · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great anecdotes to go with solid advice. Its not as easy to apply to Cub Scouts but I think the biggest advice here is THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX to make it fun.
