What is a Scout-led Troop?

What does it mean when we say: “a Scout-led troop”? “Empowering scouts to be leaders” - this is the core of Scouting Scouts taking responsibility for their activities and achievements

What does it mean for us? Opportunity to make plan, organize and make decisions An environment to practice how to lead others A chance to make mistakes and learn from our mistakes Allows us to learn how to teach others to be successful Learn the importance of working as a team Gives us a chance to be creative Opportunity to direct and run an organization Leadership is a position of responsibility; not authority

Our responsibility (Scouts): Attend and participate in our weekly meetings and monthly campouts Respect one another and allow our fellow scouts to lead Take responsibility for our actions Provide solutions Be part of planning and executing of our events Volunteer to help, organize and run our events Honor our commitments Help one another at all times

The way we lead: A Boy Scout troop is a small democracy. Under the Scoutmaster's direction: Scouts are formed into patrols plan the troop's program …and make it a reality “The patrol method is not a way to operate a Boy Scout troop, it is the only way. Unless the patrol method is in operation, you don't really have a Boy Scout troop.” —Robert S. S. Baden-Powell .

“The object of the patrol method is not so much saving the Scoutmaster trouble as to give responsibility to the scout.” —Robert S. S. Baden-Powell

Success by empowering the Scouts Organize and run the Troop meetings Organize and run the Troop activities Utilize the Patrol leaders' council Plan the Troop calendar Plan and execute Public service activities Plan Outdoor activities to learn and develop skills Remember ……..Scouting is 75% outing

Adult Responsibility in a Scout-led Troop…

In a Scout-run Troop, Adults are… Mentor Guide Counsel Advise Train Delegate Provide logistics Support Encourage Safety net ……Adults are there to support the Scouts

Boy Scouts vs. Cub Scouts Meetings planned by Adult Leaders - Scout Master, Den leader Patrol Leader Counsel (PLC) Meetings conducted by Senior Patrol leader Organization Dens, by grade Patrols, all ranks Scouts are lead by Adult - Den Leader Patrol Leader Campouts Planned by adults - Meals planned and cooked by adults Patrols plan and cook meals PLC plan activities Scouts responsible for campsite Adults provide logistics Leadership Cubmaster acts as: “master of ceremony” Scoutmasters act as: Advisor, coach, mentor Skills development Take place indoors Take place outdoors

A Scout-led Troop has little room for: Adults operating in Cub Pack mode Adults loudly asserting authority Adults jumping in with more enthusiasm than patience Adults enabling codependency Adults driving advancement more than the scout Adults solving the problems Adults taking on the Scout’s responsibility Adults packing the Scout’s campout gear Adults socializing instead of supporting
