Fantastic Sep 19, 2009
This is the best Scouting book I have read in many years. The man has a clear view of what is needed in Scouting to make it work in the 21st century. And, he has the experience to back it up. All Scout leaders, commissioners, and professionals in Scouting should read this book. I have served as an ADC for nearly 10 years. This is not a rehash of the old Scouting for Boys. It is more a modern scouting for leaders.

A Great How-To Manual for New and Old Scouters May 20, 2009
This is must reading for all adult Scout Leaders, whether new to Scouting or needing some fresh perspecives and new ideas. The author is perceptive in identifying the keys to a successful Scouting program, and recognizing the possible pitfalls to achieving success. He has applied his life-long experince in Scouting, first as a Scout, then as a Scout Leader, to help others find successful ways to organize and promote a dynamic Scouting program.
Jim Bednarski is a skilled management leader, and he has applied many of the sucessful management tools to his recommendations for Scouting programs. Jim's repeated admonition is to "keep it fun", and he has done just that with his Centennial look at Scouting in the 21st century.

No Connection to Scouting Mar 25, 2009
I'm in my mid-60's and have known the author professionally for over 30 years. I have never had any experience with Scouts or Scouting but found the book a practical guide to use if I were to jump in at this late date. I found the book especially interesting in that Jim has applied the same business principles, that he has used to help many companies, to his passion for Scouting. I would hope that the BSA would have the courage to accept and apply some of his clearly documented successes to the larger organzation. In todays public, private and non-profit business segments applying a passion for eliminating wasted time and energy and eliminating politics of any kind will yield remarkable results. I would recommend this book to everyone involved in any non-profit organization but absolutely to anyone in Scouting.

Must-Read for Scouters! Mar 17, 2009
This is a great book for both new and experienced scouters! As a Scoutmaster I find this book provides wonderful insight and renewed motivation (and I think I'm already peaking that scale!) for something very important to me. The author is candid, open and writes his message in a direct and understandable way. Enjoy this one - I did!
