Willing to Help


Recommended Posts

A few weeks ago I sat with a young Scout and conducted a Scoutmaster conference with him. It was for his First Class rank and he was incredibly excited about it. After asking him open-ended questions about his experiences and his life, I asked him what the best thing was in our Troop. His response was excellent and heart-warming: "Everyone is always willing to help you no matter what."

 

With all the discussion we've been having lately concerning "servant leadership" I couldn't help but think of this new First Class Scout. He really nails what we're trying to do in Scouting.

He's getting there, Stosh.

 

At the close of this week's meeting I used my SM minute about helping others advance:

 

"Next time when you think about what YOU need to do to advance, maybe you ought to think how can I help my Patrol mates advance."
