I have been a leader in Scouting for over 9 years, for both boys and girls. The one thing that I found the most helpful with planning meetings was the Teachers Resources for Science on Ebay! There are tons of great books on just about every science project a leader, or the kids, can think of. Teacher Resource books are where our scouts have found the best ideas for community service projects, badge/pin ideas, planning your campout weekends and so much  more! I'd like to invite all of my fellow Scouting Leaders to take a look at the wonderful teachers resources that are available to them. These books include step by step directions for planning and carrying out any sort of science or service project you can imagine!
