1. Scoutmaster’s Expectations
Good Morning.
You can see from my totem that I used to be a Beaver.
Handouts will be distributed at the end of my presentation, so don’t spend too much time copying what’s on the charts, but it would be a good idea to make notes of key points and discussion items.
Of course, feel free to ask questions at any time.
And awaaaaay we go.

Scoutmaster’s Vision
To Enable Today’s Leaders to Develop Tomorrow’s Leaders
Interpretative Reading
Using the Wood Badge skills to develop a staff that will teach-by-example the participants these same leadership skills who will in turn train their youth in modern leadership skills and instill in them the desire to lead governed by the principles of the Scout Oath and Law.
Why is it important to understand the stages of team development.?
It enables us to anticipate what a team is likely to go through. This will prevent team members from being surprised or depressed by various events such as disagreements during the storming stage.
It enables us to use appropriate strategies to smooth the progress of a team through the different stages. For example, we can suggest a procedure for establishing ground rules for a team in the norming stage.
It helps suggest suitable leadership and team member’s behaviors during each stage of the team’s development. More on leadership tomorrow.
However, here are a few words of caution.
Different teams may proceed through different stages at different speeds, a process that can be affected by the fact that team members may also have varying rates of progress. As I said before, team members need to be careful to avoid making self-fulfilling prophecies about how long each stage will last.
A team may sometimes regress to an earlier stage. For example, team members may return to a previous stage if they discover that the team’s mission or membership has changed, such as when a significant number of new boys are added to a patrol. Or when a pack committee member bridges to a Troop
It is possible for a team to be in different stages with respect to different aspects of its mission. For example, a venturing crew may be in the performing stage as it pertains to its activities, and at the same time in the storming change while trying to decide on a crew uniform. N

13. Who Will We Become?
We are a unique team – no other team in the world is like us, just like the Titans. I worked with a few Philmont crews and after the first shakedown hike I told them that to a scout they could all do it physically the question was would they be prepare mentally to do it. I say the same to you, you would not have been selected for this team if you could not physically do it. The question is will you get mentally prepared to provide the mountain top experience the participants deserve?
