A good historian report should:
✅ Provide a clear and engaging summary of the event, including key details such as date, location, and activities.
✅ Include reflections on the experience—what was learned, what was fun, and what could be improved.
✅ Be shared with all scouts, not just those who attended, so that everyone can learn from and be inspired by the event.
✅ Contain a link to the photo archive for easy access to event pictures.
✅ Be published on the troop website so it becomes part of the troop’s history.
✅ Highlight contributions from different scouts, especially those in leadership roles.
A report that needs improvement might:
❌ Lack key details about the event, making it unclear what actually happened.
❌ Be too short or vague, missing important aspects of the trip.
❌ Only be sent to those who attended rather than shared with the entire troop.
❌ Have no photo archive link, making it harder for others to see what the event was like.
❌ Not be published on the website, preventing it from being part of the troop’s permanent record.
