Scoutmaster Podcast 133

Clarke recounts the running joke of a fellow adult leader desperate to spot a moose during a canoe trip in Canada — every moose seemed to appear for everyone except him, until finally he got his sighting.

Listener mail from Nick Smith (planning a 50-mile backpacking high adventure trip in Utah), Mike (fond memories of W. Ben Hunt's illustrated books), and Brian (roundtables as a valuable resource for new Scoutmasters). Clarke previews the Scoutmastership in 7 Minutes segment on resources for new Scoutmasters.

Essential reading list and official BSA resources for new Scoutmasters: Scout Handbook, Scoutmaster Handbook, Senior Patrol Leaders Handbook, Guide to Safe Scouting, Guide to Advancement 2011, Uniform and Insignia Guide, and Baden-Powell's Aids to Scoutmastership — with the mantra 'run to the resource, stick with the program.'
