INTRO
Opening joke: a Scout wearing jumper cables as a neckerchief substitute — Clarke tells him it's fine as long as he doesn't 'start anything.'
WELCOME
Clarke welcomes listeners back after a two-week hiatus; reads mail from Dave Leventer (holiday wishes), Gary Brazell (thanks for New Scoutmaster series), Jeff Farbacher (asking to share the Night Before Christmas adaptation), and Bill Meliska (kudos on podcast). He also announces his new book 'So Far, So Good: A New Scoutmaster Story' and thanks backers by name.
LISTENERS EMAIL
Clarke answers emails from Paul Flarely (Webelos leader — Cub Scout continuum and upcoming program changes), Bobby (starting a new troop with six Webelos — best first activities), Brian Snyder (reviving the patrol method and reducing older/younger Scout animosity), and Bill (how much adult direction to give a highly independent Senior Patrol Leader).
