without leaving a trace
, and
how to take care of the land
. You’ll study wildlife up close and learn about nature all around you. There are plenty of skills for you to master, and you can teach others what you know. Everybody helping everyone else—that’s part of Scouting,
too.Slide4

The Challenge of Delivering the Outdoor ProgramAs adults, we make the opportunity possible. We create boundaries and a format within which Scouts have the freedom to carry out their experiences the way they wish. The boy-led troop helps make this happen.
Make Things Happen, Don’t Wait Things HappenSlide18
Scoutmaster’s RoleResourcing and facilitating for troop to have a successful outdoor experiences.Starting small within the skill levels and comfort zones of Scouts and Scoutmasters, then more challenging and adventures.
A troop can start with tailgate camping and learn many outdoor skills together, and bring more varieties of outdoor activity. Try as many as possible. The perspective of a boy’s outdoor adventure is different from an adult’s. (the Scouts got cold and wet, the tents blew down, critical ingredients for the evening meal were forgotten, etc. can be perceived by boys as
fine & fun memoriesSlide19
Scoutmaster’s Role .. ContinuePractice the skills they have, develop new skills, assess their performance, learn from their mistakes, and get back out there for another adventure as soon as they can.
Learn together; adults and youth can use the resources to plan the outdoor adventures, gain experience and confidence together. For Scoutmasters, expend energy where the boys can resolve
issues; putting
together the framework of the boy-led troop, for example, helping
plan
worthwhile
activities in PLC,
and ensuring
activities
comply with the safety policies of the BSA.Slide20
