Kaper Charts

Kaper charts may appear confusing, but really are simple to make.

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

  1. Make a list of all the tasks that need to be done. (If you put each job on a small piece of paper, the next steps will be easier to do.)
  2. Plan how many people should be in each work group to equalize the responsibility: Individuals, Buddies, Patrols, other small groups.
  3. Decide which specific tasks listed in step 1 will be combined to fit the work group. Take the small pieces of paper and sort them into piles according to tasks that will be done by each group.
  4. If desired, give the work group names and/or symbols for the chart.
  5. Make the chart a graphic representation of delegated responsibilities:
    • Eye-catching charts create interest. Girls form the habit of checking, at the beginning of a meeting or trip, what their job is.
    • Provide rotation of jobs, if appropriate.
    • Include a list of tasks for each individual/group.
