Testimonial by Blackfoot 37 graduate
Following is a letter to Jan Berry - former Darby Creek District Director
from one of our enthusiastic graduates.
Jan,
First of all I wanted to give you some feedback on the Blackfoot program, which I completed this last weekend at Camp Falling Rock. It was the most professional, effective, and relevant training I have been a part of. The staff was extremely knowledgeable, and worked very well with a large group of new Scouters with varying degrees of outdoor experience. The fee was worth every penny, and in fact I would have paid more for it and been very satisfied. I have years of outdoor experience and was still able to learn things from the versatile staff, and the outdoor “rookies” in my patrol were able to master those outdoor skills in quick order and with impressive retention. When passionate people volunteer to take on a project they care about, you give them the resources and get out of their way. SKC has done a great job doing just that with the Blackfoot staff, and should be proud of the results and the culture created by these fine folks.
Please pass along my positive comments to appropriate people in the council, as well as the great Blackfoot 35 staff. Many times, as managers, we only hear complaints so I wanted to give praise where it is due. Great job!
Ta Ha Yule!
Matt McConnell
Graduate of Blackfoot 35
