Powder Horn Recruiting

[WVBeaver05]

I took my Powderhorn out of council. I think it was really beneficial for me to see how other councils operate and what they are doing. Learned a lot and was also able to share.

Can't speak to Powderhorn specifically, but going out of Council, out of District, etc. to take training does provide the opportunity to see how things are done in different places. I strongly recommend it. I wouldn't object to a recommendation to encourage things like out of Council Staff and partipants for Wood Badge, etc. to provide the better range of experience that you mention. (Not sure how that would go over with the "protect my own turf" that I have seen from some Councils.)

I like the old idea of WB courses being a Region Operated event and staff it from the whole region or ARea wnd participants from all over also. Being a proud West BY God Virginian By Birth I will say I hate the inbreeding jokes but that is what you get with Local operated and staffed WB Courses No new Ideas, no fresh faces. The Good Ole Boy System in all its glory.
