Scouting is a Safe Place to Fail?

The primary goal with all Scout leaders is Safety. We as adult leaders need to understand that some times we learn more by failing. A Senior Patrol Leader may not have a meeting planned out to the Scoutmasters' satisfaction or liking. That doesn’t give the Scoutmaster license to take over the meeting. Scouting is "highly organized cause" at times. When the meeting ends the Scoutmaster should ask the Senior Patrol Leader open-ended questions like; What would have made the meeting better? What resources would prevent the meeting from failing? What are you planning for the next meeting? Cub Scout leaders have a plan for every meeting. Some time things go wrong. Often it becomes a fond memory of the good times. You know… Cub Master “Shrek” at the Halloween Pack meeting.    🌎 Troop Leader Resources:  https://troopleader.scouting.org  🌎 Program Features for Troops and Crews:  https://www.scouting.org/programs/scouts-bsa/resources/program-features-vols-1-3/  📺 Troop Leader YouTube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEmQR5W4PkcSLfLV96SOH7w  🎬 Planning Seminar:  https://youtu.be/yavqFuYiEX4   ⚜️ Note: Cub Scout leaders need to use Scoutbook for guidance on leading meetings.
