In this week’s podcast I’ll answer email questions about occupying the role of parent and Scouter, how small troops work, and what qualifies as service for the ranks of Star and Life.
The Big Three Resources every Scouter should read.

It’s funny when I was at the Scout meeting or any Scouting event, I was Scoutmaster and he was a Scout. We both liked it that way and it worked really well. The only time he came to me as a father was when he wanted money for the trading post.
