Howdy KY-Redfaced Black Eagle MikeW,
{{I too have shared the Scouts-Lr Redface}}
{{ Illness with my scouting friends}}
It ALL depends was my ORIGINAL bottom line.
1>I APPLAUD this boy's ScoutMaster
for bringing this deed forward to District
and Council.
>Let us, Scouts-Lrs, not advice the CC
or the DC to shoot the SM by His Act of =
Courage coming forward. Who needs that??
>We have enough SMs and Troops that purge their =
charters each year rather than making an effort
to find out why, or a way to include.
>Some of these same troops find a way to prevent =
scouts without active participatory parents from =
getting from Life to Eagle.
>So this SM seems Better than Average
(He asked, He broached the Gulf
2>Have the CC and DC assist the SM
(Assist and Guide being Key Ideas)
2a>He is concerned about all the boys! GREAT!!
>What are the Troop's Attendance Expectations?
Are they reasonable?
Can they Accommodate and Encourage this type Boy?
>Is there something the SM and the Troop could =
add to their Scouting Program that would have =
brought this type of a "busy" boy up to what =
ever is this new reasonable "par" for his type
and still work with 11 12 and 13's.
(Maybe they can, maybe they can't)
(Help them appreciate that it isn't their)
(-^ fault or his if they as a group can't)
2b>Public Award
>Help the SM and the Troop get over this Hurtle
Guide them: Do not legislate or dictate it.
Guide them and they shall have to agree
>Remember after Council and District are gone
with their smiles "IT IS THEIR TROOP"
They should have the Biggest Smiles
>As an idea to offer your CC friend
(charles.r.batteau's note seems like
(a note they could gently use.
(I would ditch paragraphs 1 and 5.
(Jessi and National are SECRET WEAPONS
3>Troop Recruitment and Training
>Help them use the experience Wisely
to Recruit, Train, and Grow
>Recruitment for THEIR Troop >> DARN Tootin!!
>Should they advice another boy to do the same
or something similar in another dangerous
situation. Many real life situations are truly
"RUN for Help first"
>Attempt to teach them how to Copy-Cat Correctly
in those many dangerous life situations.
((Hey the 3C's <<HEE HEE Ha Ha Ho Ho
or we could recommend national alter my new =
proposed Required Merit Badge =
Street Smart Scout =
to include this and other weird situations like =
a scout caught on an Escalator or with a Bag
he held in school for his sweet Gwendolyn
=
4>Private Ceremony
>KY-MikeW, when I read your note by itself I agreed
that this was a really good alternative and I seemed
to find a way to justify it under certain weird =
Troop circumstances. E.G. A Great Troop, Plenty of =
Opportunities for the Boy to Include himself, etc, =
etc, etc.
>Then I thought about "After the Ceremony".
What do We, the SM, and the Troop Adults say =
and feel about each other when he wears the =
Award on his Uniform??
Do we tell him not to wear the Award??
Do we tell the scouts it is a Secret??
((We didn't invite you on purpose cause He's A ??))
((although everyone at school knows the truth ))
The SM and the Troop can't hide under a Rock!!
It has to be Public or THEY will suffer =
everything they stand for and don't currently
recognize since they are standing SOOO so close.

<----Notes from great Scouts-Lrs--------------->

<----((into a phrase summary that helped me to

<----((for our buddy Mike. Guys/Gals PLEASE don't =
<----{{take any of my phrases negatively.
