This could reflect any number of Boy Scout topics couldn’t it? Let’s leave it that way. Honestly, the answer applies to all the scenerios. The most recent instant may have been coaxing members of the troop to trust the rope as they backed off a completely sufficient rock for their first rappel, but there are a number of other instances.
We watch as all the boys make errors and learn to problem solve their way out of them. We give the younger scouts the opportunity to stretch their abilities as they enter the awkward early teenage years and show them that they too can be leaders. We work with older scouts as they struggle to balance school, girls, gas prices, jobs, and earning their Eagle rank. We encourage new parents to step outside the comfort of Cub Scout ways into the new and exciting freedom of Boy Scout leadership.
No matter what the issue at hand may be, patience, in Boy Scouts, is unquestionably a virtue.
Well said, and so very true in all aspects of scouting…
