WELCOME
Mail from Bus Price (Scoutmaster, Troop 349, Verona WI) on using 'Do what Scouts do' as a yearly theme; Brent Dixon on episode 316's pyramid analogy. Clarke promotes live chat sessions and thanks new backers Bus Price, Phillip Ingram, Robert Searson, and patron Chris.
INTERVIEW
Mark Ray, author of the BSA two-volume Troop Leader Guidebook, and Walter Underwood join Clarke for part one of a two-hour discussion covering volume two's chapters on troop vision, self-evaluation, team development, the patrol method (including how to make it fail), youth leadership, and the CFD code word.
