evmori Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Came home yersterday from camp. Other than the weather, we had a great week. Advance On, sawa your son. He was doing a fine job. So we went with a provisional patrol with an existing patrol leader. And guess what! He did a great job! Not all the Scouts in the provisional patrol elected this PL, but they all followed him. I had more problems with my SPL than the PL. Did this provisional patrol elect it's PL? No Did this provisional patrol follow the leader they had? Yes. It can work. All in all, the week was great!

Bob White Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Define worked. I have seen a lot of things done in a scout uniform that worked for the adults that had nothing to do with scouting methods, or the goals or promises of scouting.

evmori Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 OK Bill Clinton, er Bob White. By worked I meant the Scouts in the patrol responded favorably to his leadership. Where in my post did I say it worked well for the adults? Don't think I did. The patrol method was used. And it worked (refer to the above definition).

OldGreyEagle Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Wow Ed, resorting to name caling, From the Scoutmaster's Handbook, Chapter 2 The methods of Scouting, Method 2- The Patrol Method "...The Boys themselves elect their patrol leader, divide up the jobs to be done..." So while "a" patrol method was used, "THE" patrol method was not. Just back from summer camp and have many ways to deleiver the program, not all very good.

Bob White Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I know we rarely agree Ed but my gosh did you have to refer to me as a democrat? Apology accepted. BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evmori Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 OGE, No. The patrol method was used. The PL was elected by 4 of the 6 Scouts at summer camp. The other 2 are new Scouts & don't really know him that well. Ed Mori Scoutmaster Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
