Scoutmaster Podcast 319 - Scoutmaster Conferences & More

Are Scoutmaster’s Conferences a retest? Can assistant Scoutmasters do them? This week we’ll catch up on listener email by answering these questions and more. When it comes to Scoutmaster conferences they are explained unambiguously in teh Guide to Advancement, so n one of this is a matter of opinion or a difference in style, it is very clearly delineated policy that instructs us on conducting the program. I’ll also give my best answer to helping a listener solve this problem – We have a large troop so our Scoutmaster is having difficulty getting through a large number of conferences and signing merit badge cards. As well as that you’ll get my take on a troubling situation, senior patrol leaders at committee meetings and a Scout who appears to be a loner.
