How to Bring Scouts Into Your Store: There’s Even an App for That!
You need to know how to work with scouts, how to get scouts into your store. There are 4 million Scouts camping 30 days a year. At present, their options are the BSA Supply and big-box stores. I have 40 years of scouting experience, as an employee & volunteer, and I can show you how to bring those kids into your store. The key is understanding the BSA program & its volunteers. Each week an adult volunteer working develops a program for the kids. If you develop programs that kids enjoy, a volunteer will gladly them to your store. The second issue is advancement. You have experts in your store in the areas that the youth of Scouting need to meet. For $5.00 a year you can be listed as a resource for all the scouts in your area. There’s even an app for it.

The Outdoor Recreation Retail Store: Liability Issues
Retailers are faced with a myriad of problems today. Liability should not be one of them. When looking at a new product at OR the retailer needs to understand whether or not that product can be brought into a store and the issues. Once in a store the retailer needs to understand the disclaimer language on the product and how that needs to be dealt with. Next the retailer must understand any issues in selling the product. A new issue that retailers are going to face is a continuing duty to warn of issues after the sale. Between this new liability issue and recalls either mandated by the CPSC or voluntary, the retailer can be stuck between a rock and hard place or left holding the bag. At the same time, understanding the new duty can create an opportunity to collecting additional information from customers and market to them post sale. Renting outdoor product is always an issue. What information must go with the product when it is rented? What cannot be rented? (Nothing, as long as there is Hertz, we can rent stoves.) What should you do if you are named in a lawsuit?
See you there!

2013 National Outdoor Recreation Conference
Posted: December 4, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: International Union of Forest Research Organizations, Management, Outdoor recreation, Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals, Traverse City Michigan Leave a commentInternational Union of Forest Research Organizations Conference on Forests for People and Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals
May 19-23, 2013, Traverse City, Michigan USA
We are pleased to offer this exciting and unique joint forum. These two research/educational programs will be seamlessly blended, while still retaining the individual identity of the two host organizations. You will have the opportunity to submit a presentation(s), host a poster session, and attend any session of these two educational programs.
One registration form and one registration fee will cover both conferences. The program will offer several joint sessions and field workshops, along with separate concurrent sessions tailored directly to the related themes of each conference. The sessions will be carefully synchronized to allow participants to move across as many as seven choices.
This is a new model for professional education and development tailored for these difficult economic times. With the co-location and the joint administration of the programs, participants will have more opportunities and a greater experience.
This joint call for presentations and posters allows you to target your presentation and/or poster session to the conference and theme that meets your needs. People submitting abstracts will be asked to indicate which conference and sub-themes best fits with the content of their abstract.
2nd IUFRO Conference on Forest for People
The aim of this conference by the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) is to build a systematic body of knowledge about “forests for people” and its various facets, including possible future trends and challenges. The conference theme, “A Growing Interdisciplinary Task,” aims to integrate knowledge from various disciplines inside and outside of forestry such as tourism, recreation, education, urban planning and many others.
The main sub-themes of FFP are:
• Livelihoods — issues of agro-forestry, food security, fuels, poverty alleviation, and human dislocation
• Health, Recreation and Tourism — issues of human health, recreation, and nature-based tourism
• Urban and Rural Landscapes — issues of ecosystem services, economic benefit and development, spaces and places for living, and urban forestry
• Culture and Education — issues of perceptions of forests, spiritual character, education, historical tradition and practice, communication and governance
2013 National Outdoor Recreation Conference
The Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals is proud to be sponsoring the 2013 National Outdoor Recreation Conference. The theme of the 2013 is “A Bridge to Prosperity” that will highlight and showcase best practices and case examples on how the outdoor recreation profession (planning, management, research and policy) is a bridge, connector and catalyst for prosperity through tourism, jobs, health and wellness, personal enjoyment and re-creation, education, environmental values and stewardship and sustainable communities.
“A Bridge to Prosperity” will also be examined for the context of four perspectives:
• Planning
• Management
• Research
• Policy and Administration
Presentations
Research presentations are 20 minutes in length (15 minute presentation with 5 minutes for questions). Management sessions are 1.5 hours in length with 2-4 presenters. Each presentation will be followed by a few minutes of questions. Session leads may customize the format of the session to help ensure a quality learning experience. Selected presenters will be contacted well in advance with more details. The meeting rooms will provide a laptop computer, digital projector, screen, lectern, and audio system (in the larger rooms). Special requests for eraser boards, dissolve units, video equipment and other specialized equipment will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Please include any special requests in your proposal. Following the conference, the session presentations and handouts will be posted on the host websites, unless you request otherwise.
Poster Sessions
Participants are invited to submit an abstract for a poster presentation. Posters will be on display during the conference, with special attention given at the Opening Reception when attendees will have a chance to visit and ask questions. Tripods will be provided and placed in the large meeting room where breaks will be taken, helping to ensure opportunities for interaction. The conference will not provide foam core or other supplies and materials to mount the posters. We ask that you investigate local sources if your plan is to assemble on-site.
Abstracts
The deadline for research abstract submittal has been extended to January 15, 2013
People may submit several abstracts for either presentations and/or posters. One submission is required for each proposed presentation and/or poster session. It is important that each abstract includes all the required information.
Response to Abstract Submissions
All proposals will be peer reviewed and selected on the basis of relevance and appropriateness for this conference. Because of the limited number of program times available, not all proposals are guaranteed a place in the schedule. All participants submitting an abstract will be notified as to acceptance or rejection by February 1, 2013.
Submission Information
All abstracts should be submitted in English and emailed to Brenda Adams-Weyant at Brenda@RecPro.org.
Conference Information
Conference information will be posted and updated regularly at http://www.recpro.org/2013-sorp-ffp-conference. Registration is expected to open in mid-January.
