cheffy 10 Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I the past we have not had a SM minute. I'm thinking of add them. Any ideas about easing them in? I've printed out some of the short ones I liked and have been slipping them into the boys books after a SM conference. Kind of like a fortune cookie. The boys now look to see which one they got.

Scoutmaster Ron 12 Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Cheffy, If at all possible please do it. Just a short inspirational thought or how every day life interacts with the Scout Law or even a short good hearted story...keep it short let the boys go home thinking Link to post Share on other sites
FScouter 24 Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 The Troop Program Resources Book has a section with about 50 Scoutmaster Minutes. A lot of them are very good. Link to post Share on other sites
Eamonn 61 Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 It has been a while. I held to the idea that I (As a Scoutmaster)didn't have a lot to do at the Troop Meeting. So this was my minute. It was a very important part of the meeting. Also a part of every meeting. I'm not sure about "Easing them in." Try the Nike method! - Just do it. Eamonn Link to post Share on other sites
Bob White 20 Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I'm with Eamonn. here are a few tips I find helpfull. Turn the lights off or way down. have the scouts sit down on the floor. i like to have a single candle for them to focus on and to st a quiet mood. take your time talking. Impostant thoughts should not be rushed. Make it a personal story about you if possible. props can help them remember the story. Practice before you do it. Hope this helps, Bob White Link to post Share on other sites
