Scoutmaster Podcast 351

Opening joke about trails being 'all over camp' and a cot joke that 'hasn't been made up yet'.

Mark Eblen writes in as a 53-year-old Eagle Scout now involved as a Cubmaster; discussion of BSA Fiscal Policies and Procedures resource following previous episode on unit ownership; thanks to new backers including Amy Borland, James Monroe, Timothy O'Connor, Thomas McGloin, Paige Taylor, and Laura Sherwin; note that summer live podcasts will pause with archive favorites posted weekly.

A relatively new scoutmaster asks how to address a scout who participates only to fulfill requirements, openly dismisses non-required activities, and left a camping trip early without permission; Clarke advises praising desired behavior publicly, avoiding rules, and engaging scouts in self-evaluation of scout spirit.
