The one canidate has been a scoutmaster for a troop in a different council where he use to live. He has been very active with his old district & council and very knowledge about the Scouting program as a whole, he has been involved w/ training thru the district. The dad from the troop has been an asst in the troop, he works nights (2nd shift) & has not attended many meetings. At this time the unit still does not hold PLC. It has been since March that the majority (more than 3/4) of the scouts have joined and nothing was changed. What are some good questions to ask when interviewing for a scoutmaster? any thing would be helpful since the majority of us are new to Boy Scouts and the majority of others that were in the troop are on their way out because their sons have gotten they eagles recently.

Thanks for all your help in advance!

What is the process for picking a scoutmaster for a troop? What sort of qualifications should we be looking for? Does anyone have guidelines that would be helpful? We have a very qualified person - not with in our troop that is interested and than we have a dad that is not quailified. And at this point the troop is in a mess, they don't even do PLC's or do things by patrol. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
