Where to go and what to do? The simple answer is just about anywhere and just about anything. It may be a week of backpacking, canoeing, touring, cycling, boating or the adventure of your choice. Making the trip a reality requires four things:
Vision and Leadership
Someone has to say "let's go!" and show others that it is actually possible. This can be more challenging than you may think, especially with the first Troop based trip.
Details, Details, Details
Troop-based trips are full of details! Preparation may take as many hours as the trip itself.
Commitment to Training and Skill Development
Leaders, advisers and participants have to commit time to training and learning the applicable skills to safely carry out the trip plan.
Finances
Calculating the cost of the trip, collecting money and paying it out all must be accounted for.
Tomorrow we'll discuss vision and leadership.
