14. What is a Scout-led Troop?

15. 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

16. 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

17. 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

18. 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 .

19. “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

20. 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

21. Adult Responsibility in a Scout-led Troop…

22. 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

23. Boy Scouts vs. Cub Scouts
Meetings planned by
Adult Leaders

Leadership

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
