TAHAWK

From the official history This matches what I recall when serving as a gofer for the Course QM. I will try to get ahold of a syllabus.

Is this the same as individual testing on the requirements or does it have some other purpose?

Who are "they" and what is "the entire group"?

Possibly. But when I deliver YPT training, I am to read the following to the participants: "Even if no abuse occurs, leaders and other volunteers in Scouting must obey the rules. When they demonstrate an unwillingness to follow the rules, they must be expelled from the activity and reported to the person in charge of the activity and local Scout executive as soon as possible. The Scout executive will determine any follow-up actionâ€â€up to and including revocation of membership in the BSA. Is the strict enforcement of the Youth Protection Policies really necessary

What is the purpose of the quizzes?

B.S.A. policy specifically approves one-on-one verbal contact between an adult and a youth in Scouting so long as it is in view of both adults and youth. "In situations that require personal conferences, such as a Scoutmaster’s conference, the meeting is to be conducted in view of other adults and youths." So I find I have been violating the rules by talking to Scouts with only dozens of Scouts in the same room - unless there is an exception on the grounds that the conversation is not "required." I also seem to be violating the rules by talking to Scouts in my car when drivin

Scouting happens to a trivial extent outside B.S.A. That does not mean extra-BSA scouting has no value qualitatively. Who are you to apply B.S.A. rules to a "pinnacle scouting" experience? I dunno'. A registered B.S.A. leader? Declining the insurance coverage on principle? For claims arising on a trip, that usually means you are self-insured. Yes, "control" has been an issue for B.S.A. ever since Darth West. My problem with all this focus on how adults just must detract from the Patrol Method is experience.. See, as a Scout I never felt adults were a serious proble

We had Jr R.O.T.C. in camp when one week of NYLT was running. They communicated great contempt for the Scouts and Scouters (pointing, laughing), and knee-slapping, would not comply with agreed shower schedule, and left a mess in the shower house and area. Not a happy experience.

Certainly the good should not be defeated by the search for the perfect I suspect I had something different in mind for "handle." And the good should not be defeated by the search for the perfect. (Good Samaritan laws only apply to doctors being good samaritans.) Certainly nothing stops suing entirely. Satan was sued in federal court. We have lots of rules, including the Oath and Law. Citing the point of the law on obedience and comparing it to defenses offered by war criminals seems a bit over the top. I would be surprised if you truly do not know what t

Stosh, The fact that adults don't always get it right does not prove that children are more likely to get it right, No guarantees either way. Still, those motor vehicle accident statistics are not a matter of opinion. Adults have at least had the opportunity of seeing how bad things happen. What could have been done is not try to roll the log down the hill. I appreciate your policy on training Scouts in first aid, especially at my age. However, fIrst aid does not = "handling any medical emergency" And if you think risk management is not a real world issue, you are forgettin

Adults are needed because they have a non-delegable duty to insure that the situation is safe. It ought to be possible to fulfill that duty from a distance. Adults are needed because, after safety, their primary duty is to train and coach youth leaders to lead. Then there's all the other stuff adults tend to do that is not needed. That is not quite my understanding or what B.S.A. says so far as I can find. The SPL is to chair the PLC and to lead troop activities with the SM as his coach and mentor and not his director. Since B.S.A. has failed to coherent

I think I read somewhere that "adult association" is primarily adults setting the example of living the Oath and Law. And that would not be adult "control."

"And in the end, aren't we all on the same team?" Since at least 1930 and to this date, the answer is, "No." You are in the same league. Patrols are the teams in which Scouts are to play the game of Scouting. Together, the form a league called a "troop." From current B.S.A. pronouncements: [emphasis added] [emphasis added] It is, after all, the PATROL Method: Dead on about titles, I think. "Who is the leader," we used to ask in the district-level leader training weekend. I forget the official answer. The accurate answer is, "Whoe

Adults have a role as resources. If adults exclude youth from being allowed to teach, including stretching a bit, that's not helpful. My first Scoutmaster always had youth member of his Scoutmaster Basic Training staffs because: 1) They could do it; 2) They liked to do it; and 3) They helped sell adults on the concept that youth could handle responsibility. If you honestly believed in the Patrol Method, how could you not see youth as staff?

1911 posts. Congratulations. Why would keeping a copy of all e-mails not serve the same end? Usually I am e-mailing a Scout in response to an e-mail he sends me.

Anything left of BP's interest in vocational training?

Wood Badge was designed as a static course, Someone came up with "Walking Wood Badge" in 1976 Thereafter, there were Canoeing Wood Badge and Rafting Wood Badge - as trials. The Walkers went by us twice at Philmont, They looked motivated but tired. I have not heard of a Walking course in many years. I think they were all at Philmont.

Who pointed to a program failure?

In this area, there is no relationship. It is simply "other training" on a variety of topics hopefully useful and interesting to Scouters - and for some sessions Scouts - in various aspects of Scouting.

Patrol Leaders are appointed by the Group Scout Leader and/or Scout Leader?
