Scoutmaster Podcast 193

The old Scoutmaster can't remember the name of a backpacking trail with a waterfall, so he asks his wife — whose name turns out to be the answer.

Brian Rodini asks how to stop interfering parents on camping trips; anonymous writer asks whether to accept a Scoutmaster role when he can only attend half the meetings; Howie Jones from Troop 570 asks what Clarke looks for in an assistant Scoutmaster and how to build that relationship.

Clarke and fellow Scoutmaster John stage the 'Pumpkin Man' — a man in a fluorescent orange jumpsuit with a giant mallet who smashes scouts' jack-o'-lanterns at a district camperee campfire, to thunderous approval; the pumpkin man's later visit to a Cub Scout camp did not go over as well.
