1. How can you keep scouts entertained.

Since this was mentioned a couple of times, I figured I'd chime in. There's some good discussion of that in the Scouting Section of this presentation:

There are two keys:

1. Instill a team culture that values scouting, and where watching matches is seen as fun. This especially applies for teams where most kids would rather play cards or dance in the stands than watch matches. Lots of ways to do this, but involves the team leadership being excited scouting. People follow their respected leaders.
2. Make it fun.
