Thanks to the guys who replied, I got some ideas I can use, just in time for summer camp. I'll keep checking for more. I've been looking for a Scoutmaster chat room to get some tutering. For years I've struggled for excellence, and our local exec and other troops I've visited never seem to have any answers that work for me. My troop is not a unit B. Powell would be impressed with, yet the the Council says it is the best unit in my 2 region area. I hope more of us struggling volunteers find this site and can raise the Scouting standards.

Our boys love short, true, stories involving heroism, sacrafice or adventure. I pick up a few here and there, Readers Digest used to carry more of that kind of thing. It must be done from memory or by a highly skilled reader. I think the boys are inspired to do likewise, stories are a powerfull way to teach, i.e. the Jack London comment above Anybody know of sources of such stories?
