The Scoutmaster is the adult responsible for working directly with the Scouts to help them create the program for the troop. The Scoutmaster trains youth leaders to run the troop by providing direction, coaching, and support.
“I had stipulated that the position of Scoutmaster was to be neither that of a school master nor of a commander Officer, but rather that of an elder brother among his boys, not detached or above them individually, able to inspire their efforts and to suggest new diversions when his finger on their pulse told him the attraction of any present craze was wearing off.” – Robert Baden-Powell, Lessons from the Varsity of Life, 1933
Thank you to ALL of our GREAT Scoutmasters over the years!
