The Leaders Campfire #44 podcast of Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

has ADD/ADHD in Scouting as its theme. It covered some interesting topics.

Wow! Three Scouting related podcasts have found their way to the iTunes Music Store "featured" pages in the "Kids and Family" category. I am not sure how podcasts make it to the Featured Pages, but I think it is great that these Scouting related podcasts

have made it there. I think it helps to spread the word about Scouting to the public.

 

You can probably help keep them on the Featured page, and maybe even help to rank them higher, by downloading and/or subscribing to the podcasts. Leaving comments on iTunes seems to help the ranking also. Maybe, with your help, we can move one or two of these podcasts to the front page.

 

The podcasts are:

An Hour A Week (audio)
