Back from summer camp and a canoe trip, Clark Green shares listener letters about troops that have become truly boy-led, including Larry Geiger’s story of an Appalachian Trail hike where the Scouts cared for their adult leaders—not the other way around.

Clark Green begins a multi-part series on troop meetings, explaining what the Scoutmaster’s role should and shouldn’t be—setting things in motion and stepping back to let Scouts work through what looks like organized chaos. Includes a Scoutmaster’s Minute on the BSA’s 100th anniversary.

Clark Green discusses patrol logs as a practical tool for patrol leaders and senior patrol leaders, and begins a three-part series on creating a troop-based high adventure program—arguing that no troop should go without some form of high adventure activity each year.
