Scoutmaster Podcast 162

Opening joke: if all the Scouts in the country formed a line, it would quickly dissolve into seagull-chasing, pickup football, and missed phone calls.

Listener mail from Ron Lasala (Tallinn CT, correction on a knot infographic), Terry Dutton (Oak Park IL, appreciation), Heidi Medina Cordero (thanks), and David Thompson (Mililani HI, new Scoutmaster grateful for the resource).

Three email questions answered: (1) whether withholding a board of review for unpaid dues is permissible (it is not — it adds an unauthorized requirement); (2) how to give out badges at troop meetings vs. courts of honor, and how to improve court of honor attendance; (3) how to handle a helicopter parent planning her son's merit badge schedule.
