January is flying by and soon Boy Scout Day will arrive where your troop will likely be celebrating all that it means to be a scout with great fervor. As you plan for your troop’s celebration, there are probably a lot of extra items you’ll need in addition to the things you already use for scout activities. Your troop can use Peoria Self Storage to keep everything you need safe and at the ready for every celebration and activity without cluttering up the houses of troop leaders and participants. Everything in It’s Place Planning activities for your troop takes a lot of work and sometimes a lot of equipment. When you have one place for everything, it’ll be easier to find and you and your scouts can get going with your activities faster and in a more organized manner. Teach Your Scouts The boys in your troop can learn all about how to pack, maintain, and store items necessary for all the activities they do in the scouts by getting them ready for your Peoria Self Storage unit. This project can be an activity in itself. Ask everyone to gather their equipment and meet up to pack everything and show them how things should be stored, what must be done to clean them before storage, how to maintain while in storage, and what to do to get them ready for use after they come out of storage. Teach your scouts about winterizing items used in summer, about what kinds of equipment can be used for more than one activity, and how things should be stored within the unit. You can make competitions out of it, add prizes and incentives, and cheer your troops on as they work! Team Storage Make teams within your storage unit and give each team a section that they have to maintain. The scouts will learn responsibility to care for their items and learn to work together to make sure things are stored and maintained properly. When an activity comes up, each team can find the items they need and get them ready for action. Hold drills for different activities and turn it into a game for even an even more enjoyable experience. The Scout Motto By using a storage unit for your troop’s equipment, you’ll be able to get moving quickly whenever you have an event. The troops will learn responsibility, planning and maintenance, and the life of your equipment will be prolonged. You’ll be reinforcing that tried and true scout motto “Always be prepared!” Call to reserve your storage unit today! US Storage Centers 19315 North 83rd Avenue Peoria, AZ 85382 (623) 428-1111
