OK, Scouters, I am getting close to understanding" active".
Give me one last question and I hope I can lay this to rest.
Sam Scout is the PL of his patrol. He needs 6 months of active
leadership and active participation in the troop or patrol to fulfill
his obligations. For 3 months of the 6 months he is doing his PL job
and for 3 months he is gone playing baseball. Do I count both the
baseball and leadership as his six months, even though he was not at
the meetings? Do I count the three months he is active in the troop
and make him do three more? I am sorry, I never knew that I was so
dense!
Help me, Help me!
I know what I have been doing. I think I may have been doing it
wrong according to what I am reading. I would make him serve another
three months. He made the choice to leave and play ball. What I am
reading is that we all have a busy life and cut him some slack. I
guess I wonder, what is the point of asking him to serve the "active"
time and then not making him do it.
Still confused, and....
