Scoutmaster Podcast 325

Opening joke about nylon tents not being soundproof booths and scouts not realizing it.

Clarke welcomes listeners back from summer break; reads notes from Vincent Cardin (son's swimming merit badge at summer camp), a five-star Amazon review of Clarke's book by Jim Green, and Bob Hughes (Troop 5, Scott AFB) reporting a successful Boundary Waters canoe trip. Clarke also promotes backers/patrons and announces three email Q&As for the episode.

Three emails answered: (1) anonymous new Scoutmaster on removing a repeatedly misbehaving scout from the troop; (2) anonymous question on required mock boards of review — BSA policy discourages them and they cannot be required as unauthorized added requirements; (3) James asks for tips on working with an 18-20 year old assistant Scoutmaster.
