Podcast 293 – Peace Scouting

November 16, 2015 By Clarke Green

Peace Scouting is nothing new, and it’s very simple…

In this podcast I’ll share some thoughts about peace Scouting as described in an address Baden-Powell made to what would later become the World Organization of the Scouting movement in Paris in 1922. Your opportunity as a Scouter is a profound one. Take a moment today and think about that. We join hands with millions of fellow Scouters around the world working for love in the place of fear; and we all still have plenty of work to do.

I’ll also answer email questions about the challenges a new Scouter faces, and unruly behavior from younger Scouts.

Hey Clarke,
Regarding the Scouter asking about misbehaving Scouts, I have an observation. I’d be curious if it matches your experience. There are exceptions, a large proportion of the troublemakers are Scouts who don’t really want to be there, but are being pushed into Scouting by their parents.
