What makes a Scoutmaster Weak?


Recommended Posts

"Scoutmasters deal with the individual boy rather than with the mass.

 

I belive this quote from B-P is key to being a strong SM. Do this and everything else will fall into place.

 

If a SM is not dealing with the mass, then he cannot lead them and the boys must do it. If a SM is being a role model, teaching, mentoring and advising each scout individulally, then he is allowing each boy to practice leadership.

 

Weakness comes from not knowing what your job is and not knowing how to do that job. A sure sign of a weak SM is that he is constantly addressing the troop as a whole.
