10. SCOUTS Scouters Roles will fundamentally change in the new program Scouters need to really let go and let the youth learn on their own (with guidance) – provide options but allow them to learn from their mistakes as long as they are not dangerous It is a lot harder to be a Scouter than a Leader, but the rewards are endless!
