Jeff's Story

Jeff is a scout leader in rural Nevada and has his hands full with day to day life, taking care of the kids, working, and of course there are household tasks too. Oh, and he wants time with his wife and to be able to watch some TV too. As you can imagine, Jeff has very little free time and yet squeezes in being a Scout Leader.

One day Jeff came across InsaneScouter and discovered the wide range of useful ideas from ceremonies to games to scoutmaster minutes to songs and skits, oh my. Eventually he stumbled across “Knapsack” and discovered there was even more he could get access to: a virtual "filing cabinet" to fill his “Knapsack” with ebooks, powwow books, clip art, ceremonies, scout challenges, handouts, blueprints, CD’s InsaneScouter sold years ago, and even experimental InsaneScouter ebooks.

He noticed it was not free and almost left, but then remembered the site is run by this wacky dude Scott who has helped him so much over the years. He thought “what the hay” and signed up. Within a few days he received an email (sorry, we still send this out manually) with a link to the Knapsack Filing Cabinet and started poking around. insanescouter knapsack powwow books

He felt great having been able to support InsaneScouter which has helped him in so many small ways, and if InsaneScouter & Knapsack saved him just 1 hour a month, it was worth it.
