ParkMan 1293 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Sure - that is all true. I'm the first to say the BSA needs a crisper, clearer training program. However, all that material is out there - how Boy Scouts works, how patrols work, how a troop functions, but led, etc. On the flip side, other than marketing statements, the family scouting, adult led model is not defined. In the era of sound bites and YouTube, I do see how newer leaders are led astray. But, for any troop that really wants to be faithful to the program it is defined. My point is that troops and packs that want a great, scout led, program can indeed have one. But, the leaders have to embrace it and have to pursue it. Link to post Share on other sites
Terasec 27 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Maintain good relationships with parents and guardians. Seek their support and include them in activities. Involve male relatives such as uncles and grandfathers so that Cub Scouts will have additional male role models. this male role midel part is often overlooked in cubmaster responsibilities Link to post Share on other sites

ParkMan 1293 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Go figure! It was printed in 2011 too. I was sure it was an old source. Link to post Share on other sites
