ScoutCast Series of monthly recorded interviews with knowledgeable Scouters (both volunteer and professionals). Each month, the presenters discuss a specific topic that should enable unit leaders to better deliver the promise of Scouting to the youth in their units. ScoutCast involves subjects of interest or importance to troop leaders. ScoutCast began in 2013. There are close to 40 archived ScoutCasts available to be downloaded and listened to. The recordings are archived at www.scouting.org/Scoutcast/Scoutcast/ Beginning in 2014, the site added PDF transcripts of each ScoutCast.
