Good morning Commanders.
Last years Powow was my first attempt at overseeing these the campsite and uniform inspection. The end results were less than satisfactory. We owe it to the boys and the commanders to conduct these events in a precise professional manner. To achievement this aim we need to start getting on the same page as soon as we can as a judging staff.
To that end, I would like to request that each Section Commander obtain one volunteer (ideally I would like that volunteer to be you) from their respective section to serve as an inspector for the Powow. This should not be looked at as a grunt job, but rather as an Honor Detail.
For individuals to judge any event fairly they need to be on the same page with their fellow judges. To do this on a consistent basis means that our judges need to spend some time preparing. We all need to know what is average, below average, and above average as far as the campsite inspection goes.
On the uniform inspection we need to know what to look at and look for.
I would love to sit down with this team for a few minutes at the March District Leaders Conference.
Please get this communication out and perceive this leadership need with a heart of service.
God Bless.
Sherwood Shaplin
East Division Commander
