Scoutmaster Podcast 265

A park ranger finds a scouter alone after a bear took all the scouts — the scouter isn't worried because the bear got himself into it.

Listener reviews and mail from Matthew (book review and request to bring back Brick Mason), Brother Mark (chaplain to Scouts Canada), new live chat participants, and a call for backers. Clarke previews the Scouting Source Code Part 2 and a listener email segment.

Continuation of the Scouting Source Code series featuring a recording of Green Bar Bill Hillcourt describing his chance meeting with BSA Chief Scout Secretary James West, writing the Patrol Leader's Handbook, Scout Master's Handbook, Scout Handbook, and Field Book, and Clarke's own brief encounter with Hillcourt at the 1989 National Jamboree.

Robert Williams of Troop 15 in Sherman, Texas asks about BSA policies on parents and family members attending troop campouts and whether youth protection training is required for unregistered adults.
