Scoutmaster Podcast 370

Clarke tells a story about older Scouts obsessed with Beavis and Butthead, and how he got them to stop by enthusiastically joining in himself.

Clarke thanks Larry Jennings, Pete Parris, John Mello, and Heath for comments and emails about last week's podcast on patrols and planning, then previews today's topic of older Scouts.

Extended teaching segment on understanding and working with Scouts aged 14–17: what they want, what Scouters want from them, how to balance authority with approachability, and why the 'bread and circuses' approach to engagement fails.
