Scoutmaster Podcast 372

Joke about Brandy Lamb's REI seamstress being so intense she gets on Brandy's nerves — 'par for the course.'

Clarke thanks backers and patrons, then reads extensive listener responses (Bus Price, Mike Ryan Semanovic, Wayne Wilcox, Tim Fox, Craig Snodgrass, Dave Goldenberg, Aaron Hall, Mike Comnick, Lawrence Wittes) to last week's rant about the BSA's plan for separate girls troops rather than fully co-ed units.

Clarke discusses keeping Eagle paperwork simple, references Bob White Blather blog and the National Advancement Team newsletter, then addresses how Scoutmasters should handle entitled late-rushing Eagle candidates — arguing no Scout 'deserves' Eagle, only earns it by completing requirements, and that a Scoutmaster's role is to help rather than guard worthiness.
