Eagledad Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 There is an "Outstanding" article in the Nov/Dec Scouting Magazine called "Build A Better Boy". The article is an interview with family therapist, Michael Gurian, who has written several books about how to raise boys. I'm usually cautious with suggesting such articles, but I think this is right on target and can help leaders understand better how to work with boys. The article is written well in that Gurian gives lots of approaches with boys and a list of mentors responsibilities. I hope you all enjoy the article as much as I did. I love this scouting stuff.

boomerscout Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 his article from Nov/Dec, 2005 "The Minds of Boys" is also good. Explains why the school approach to Scouting is not where it's at. Back issues of Scouting are archived on-line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packsaddle Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I was half expecting the author to be named, "Geppetto". Was kind of a rocky process in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyScout Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Great article. I work with kids for a living, I've had to read countless articles about how they tick, and this guy still taught me a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
