ScouterStan - Scout Leader Podcast

We hear about people getting “kicked out of Scouting” all the time. Many famous people make this fashionable claim. The reality is that not many scouts are asked to leave their unit. Most of the time with adults it's because of Youth Protection Training (YPT) violations or not passing the required background checks. In this video, we talk about this serious matter of membership. The unit's membership is controlled by the charter organization. Charter organizations take this responsibility extremely seriously.

The Scout uniform is part of the methods of Scouting. As a uniformed organization, we transform our daily life into being a Scout. Boys & Girls in uniform are Scouts, not kids. There are places to be in uniform and places where the uniform would be inappropriate. The dress uniform, uniform, and activity uniform (class B) are explained. Regular uniform at scout meetings, training, and events. Full dress uniform at ceremonies and Court of Honor (COH). Activity or “Class B” for physical activities or clothing hazards situations.

The primary goal with all Scout leaders is Safety. We as adult leaders need to understand that some times we learn more by failing. A Senior Patrol Leader may not have a meeting planned out to the Scoutmasters' satisfaction or liking. That doesn’t give the Scoutmaster license to take over the meeting. Scouting is "highly organized cause" at times. When the meeting ends the Scoutmaster should ask the Senior Patrol Leader open-ended questions like; What would have made the meeting better? What resources would prevent the meeting from failing? What are you planning for the next meeting?

Cub Scout leaders have a plan for every meeting. Some time things go wrong. Often it becomes a fond memory of the good times. You know... Cub Master “Shrek” at the Halloween Pack meeting.
