Lack of passion in scouting

[Rick-906]

i know exactly what you mean!
at BAE i had a pair of scouts questioning me about our robot. they relied soley on a sheet for questions, and when the robot did not fit the limited descriptions on the sheet they drew complete blanks... they walk up to the pit [with the robot in plain view] and ask "do you have bumpers?"

PLEASE teach your scouts whats going on, otherwise theyre next to useless...
and if your just trying to assign busywork, have them do something that wont disturb the serious participants more than nessicary

[i wish we had that many people]
