[QUOTE=adal;439071]You're gonna show PowerPoints to a bunch of Boyscouts? Just have them open their books a follow along. Don't ruin them now.

I just taught this in Nov here in AZ. Rained, Snowed, and was generally miserable. I enjoyed it very much, but my daughter and the scouts from Phoenix didn't. Her tarp leaked. That'll teach her.

Need any help, other than PowerPoint, PM me.[/QUOTE

adal,

Did you do your class during meeting nights, on the weekend, or a combination of both?

Yeah, I knw powerpoint is lame, but I really want to get as much info into them as possible, and for them to retain it. We all know about the % we retain when we read as opposed to just hear something said. Since I have a group who are in the Primacy stage of their Wilderness Survival education, I wanted to have some writtten material to increase their retention.

I am hoping to end up teaching them more than just the basic Wilderness Survival curriculum..

I'll get in touch with you to learn how you taught your class.
