Emulate to your Scouts how a high functioning patrol should work

Scoutmasters Campout

Sometimes the best ways to teach is to emulate the model.  The Patrol Method, as defined by Baden Powel, is conceptually easy to understand. Yet, still, it can take a lot of Norming, Forming and Storming before the patrol starts Performing.  Our troop created a Scoutmasters campout to provide a less structured campout for them and so that the adult leaders could demonstrate service and how an effetive patrol can work together.

Curling - Not just for the Olympics!

Curling is a social sport focusing on fun, fitness, strategy, and teamwork.  Played on a special indoor sheet of ice, the sport has both a physical and analytical aspect.  With the rigorous sweeping required for many shots, participants get a good cardiovascular workout, and the strategy of the game is why it is often referred to as ”chess on ice”.  The goal is to deliver your stone closest to the target, and then maintain that advantage while your competitor tries to get closer or knock your stone out

Its never too late - Colonel Harland Sanders

Its never too late - Colonel Harland Sanders

It's never too late to start all over.

At age 5 his father died.
At age 16 he quit school.
At age 17 he had already lost four jobs.
At age 18 he got married.
Between ages 18 and 22, he was a railroad conductor and failed.
He joined the army and washed out there.
He applied for law school, he was rejected.
He became an insurance sales man and failed again.
At age 19 he became a father.
At age 20 his wife left him and took their baby daughter.
He became a cook and dishwasher in a small cafe.
He failed in an attempt to kidnap his own daughter, and eventually he convinced his wife to return home.
At age 65 he retired.
On the 1st day of retirement he received a check from the Government for $105.
He felt that the Government was saying that he couldn’t provide for himself.
He decided to commit suicide, life wasn’t worth living anymore; he had failed so much.

He sat under a tree writing his will, but instead, he wrote what he would have accomplished with his life. He realized there was much more that he hadn’t yet done. There was one thing he could do better than anyone he knew. And that was how to cook. So he borrowed $87 against his check and bought and fried up some chicken using his recipe, and went door to door to sell them to his neighbors in Kentucky.

Remember, at age 65 he was ready to commit suicide. But at age 88 Colonel Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) Empire was a billionaire.

Moral of the story: It's never too late to start all over.

MOST IMPORTANLY, IT'S ALL ABOUT YOUR ATTITUDE. NEVER GIVE UP NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS.

You have what it takes to be successful. Go for it and make a difference.
