Re: Make Scouting Fun?
From my experience, the more scouts are involved in picklisting decisions, the more they enjoy scouting! I also highlight, whenever I can, the importance of good scouting, especially when my team makes a good, data-backed decision, or another alliance pulls off an upset win thanks to good scouting.
I also run Fantasy FRC competitions on 1257, and offer prizes (usually pizza) to the winners to get them to start thinking about teams. It rewards the students who have been doing their scouting (and the ever-important pre-scouting). I have students pick three teams before the competition (with a serpentine draft) and then award points based on the District System, with bonus points for correctly predicting team-ups.
