Scouting is a Safe Place to Fail?

<p>The primary goal with all Scout leaders is Safety. We as adult leaders need to understand that some times we learn more by failing. A Senior Patrol Leader may not have a meeting planned out to the Scoutmasters' satisfaction or liking. That doesn’t give the Scoutmaster license to take over the meeting. Scouting is <em>"highly organized cause" </em>at times. When the meeting ends the Scoutmaster should ask the Senior Patrol Leader open-ended questions like; What would have made the meeting better? What resources would prevent the meeting from failing? What are you planning for the next meeting?</p> <p>Cub Scout leaders have a plan for every meeting. Some time things go wrong. Often it becomes a fond memory of the good times. You know… Cub Master “Shrek” at the Halloween Pack meeting. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>🌎 Troop Leader Resources: &nbsp;<a href="https://troopleader.scouting.org">https://troopleader.scouting.org</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>🌎 Program Features for Troops and Crews: &nbsp;<a href="https://www.scouting.org/programs/scouts-bsa/resources/program-features-vols-1-3/">https://www.scouting.org/programs/scouts-bsa/resources/program-features-vols-1-3/</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>📺 Troop Leader YouTube Channel: &nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEmQR5W4PkcSLfLV96SOH7w">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEmQR5W4PkcSLfLV96SOH7w</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>🎬 Planning Seminar: &nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/yavqFuYiEX4">https://youtu.be/yavqFuYiEX4</a> &nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>⚜️ <strong>Note</strong>: Cub Scout leaders need to use Scoutbook for guidance on leading meetings.</p>
