How to build a Scout

There is no really good way to build a Boy Scout.....

After all, how can anyone build another human being? It is not possible, is it?

I believe it is......you see, it is not what you always say, or do, or try.....

I believe Scouts are made from a healthy dose of people who can do different things. For instance, a Scout has to have a steady influence at home.....which is where the foundation is for all good boys. Parents play a key role in helping to form positive habits.....

Secondly, it is imperative that a positive adult leadership core is in place to set up the program correctly, thereby setting up the boys for success early on. The leaders set the pace for the boys......

Older boys examples are paramount to the success in building a Scout. Boys react to their friends and how they do things......thats why it is important that the boys give back to other boys after them....

Other boys the same age is important as well to building a Scout.....positive competition is so important as they can push each other to do better in all activities....


Do we have all of these in our troop?

I believe we have the right ingredients to make a good Scout, a good Scout troop, and a few good men.....

Those of you that are in it for the boys....the boys only.....will see this benefit as they grow......


For the Boys,

Big Mike

Change from previous communication

My apologies for the confusion here, as I have deleted the other post that was previously published.....

Due to issues we will NOT be moving the meeting nights from Monday nights. There are some issues that need to be ironed out so we will stay on Monday nights for the foreseeable future and beyond. This will guarantee the continuity for the Boy Scouts and other programs within our communities.

I truly apologize for any miscommunication during this process......

Yours in Scouting,

Big Mike
