BorrowMe for Scouting

Since it’s inception in 1916, the Cub Scouting movement has taken millions of young boys through the skills of knotting, the togetherness of camping and the general rituals of growing up. They learn first aid, how to tie knots and go hiking with their packs, and there are generally multiple packs or groups within a city or area.

Given the popularity of such groups, it would be impossible to maintain such a large group of kids in a single pack, which is why different packs exist. It came as quite a surprise to find out that none of the organizations worked closely with other packs, they were very much segregated into individual groups.

It’s funny that a group that promotes teamwork does not practice such things on a larger scale. Every year, Cub packs spend money on gear that they are only going to use once or twice a year, while the rest of the time it sits idle. Seems like such a waste to spend so much money on the same things another Cub pack has.  Wouldn’t it be more economical to discuss different outings and trips with the other pack leaders so they could pool resources, or trade items to use while staggering their trips? Of course it would!

BorrowMe allows Cub Packs to list a central repository of items they have in their inventory to share with other packs. They are able to share their resources and gain additional resources that they never had before. Resource sharing can greatly reduce costs in purchases as well as storage. Is it time that you looked into it?
