Scoutmaster Podcast 185

Story about taking Scouts in uniform to Yellowstone, where they became minor celebrities — including a group of Japanese high school girls asking for photos — illustrating how wearing the Scout uniform opens doors and encourages better behavior.

Interview with Arlan Ward of Troop 17, Thornton, Colorado, covering the troop's first summer: how the PLC chose Camp Buffalo Bill near Yellowstone, how Scouts independently drove their own advancement at camp, the SPL-led court of honor, the annual planning camp-out, and the troop's growth to 19 Scouts heading into its first full year of meetings.
