      Meal break
  
      – Problem Solving
      – Team Building
      Presentation of Patches and Certificates
  
Warm-Up Game #1
      Moon Ball
  
      – Form a circle, with a ball handy
      – Rules: you can’t hit the ball twice in a row
      – Set a goal beforehand for consecutive ball hits
        aloft without the ball touching the ground.
      – (Start now)
Moon Ball Reflection
    Was your goal realistic?
  
   Did you achieve your goal?
   If so, how?
Warm-Up Game #2
      Yurt Circle
  
      – Join hands and expand the circle outward until
        the circle is tight
      – Count off by twos
      – Bending at the ankles, not the waist, ones lean
        in and twos lean out
      – Do it slowly, then reverse positions
      – (Start now)
Yurt Circle Reflection
      If everyone works together, each person can
  
      accomplish a remarkable forward or
      backward lean
Warm-Up Game #3
      Everybody Up
  
      – Let’s try to build group cooperation
      – Two same-size persons sit down facing each
        other, legs out, knees bent, feet touching
        opposite person’s feet
      – Grasp other persons hands tightly, and pull
        each other into upright standing position
      – Repeat, adding more and more people on each
        side, until everyone is included
      – (Start now)
Reflection on Everybody Up
    Were you eventually able to get everybody
  
    included, and upright?
   Is there any real limit to the number of
    people that can play this game, as long as
    they work together?
   Would Moon Ball, Yurt Circle, and
    Everybody Up be fun games for the Troop?
Why are we here today?
    to learn a leadership style that works great
  
    in Scouting
   to learn to work together to accomplish a
    common goal
   to learn how to deal with problems we all
    encounter in Scouting
   and to have some fun at the same time
Overview
    I’m a leader - what do I do now?
  
   More than an honor, it’s a challenge
   Lead Troop 25 and your Patrol
   Decide the course Patrol and Troop will
    follow along the Scouting trail
   Help others master Scouting skills
   Be a role model for other Scouts.
What Is Leading Anyway?
    If others think of you as the boss, you’re
  
    probably not leading.
   If they think of you as one of the guys and
    everything you set out to do is getting done,
    you’re probably a good leader.
Skills and Techniques of
Successful Scout Leaders:
    They ask a lot of questions
  
   They make a lot of suggestions
   They don’t give too many orders
   They use the Scoutmaster and Assistant
    Scoutmasters as a resource.
   They took Troop Junior Leader Training
      – That’s why you are here today!
Further Training Opportunities:
      Council-level Junior Leader Training
  
      – week--long training conference in summer
      National Junior Leader Instructor Camp
  
      – Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico
Get Into Your Job -
  Break It Down into Pieces
    Tackle one piece at a time
  
   Think of your Junior Leader Handbook as a
    toolbox.
      – take it with you to meetings
      – take it on campouts
      – take it to summer camp
Other “toolboxes”:
      Boy Scout Handbook
  
      – the basic tool for all Scouting
      Woods Wisdom - a good source for:
  
      – games (for learning and for fun)
      – ceremonies (how about some new ones?)
      – programming themes
    the Troop’s adult leaders
  
   other junior leaders
Presentation of Junior Leader
Handbooks
    Put your name in it now
  
   Read it, know it, follow it
   Keep it as a resource for the rest of your
    Scout career
Presentation of Course Outlines
      Most of the information in these outlines
  
      that doesn’t come from the video can be
      found in your Junior Leader Handbooks or
      in other Scouting resources
Now let’s watch a video segment
on leadership
      (Start the Video Now)
  
Now let’s try Activity #1

     The “Blind Square”
The “Blind Square”
    Needed: 50’ of rope and blindfolds
  
   Only the “Leader” may talk
   Form in a circle and blindfold yourselves
   Reach down and grab the rope with both
    hands
   Objective: to form a square, using the rope
    to establish the boundaries
“Blind Square” rules:
    No one may let the rope leave his hands for
  
    more than five seconds at a time
   Only the “leader” may speak
      – Leader may number the other people in the
        group if desired
      – The “leader” decides when the square is
        formed
      (Try it now - when finished, we’ll proceed)
  
Reflection on the “Blind Square”
    Sit where you are
  
   Who took the leadership role?
   How did decisions get made?
   What didn’t you like about this style?
   How often do leaders act like “big bosses”?
   How does it feel to be lead by “big boss”?
   Is “big boss” style prevalent in Scouting?
   Could we play this without “Big Boss”?
Now let’s try a “Blind Equilateral
Triangle”, but with cooperation
      Everyone is still blindfolded
  
      – put on your blindfolds again
    This time, however, everyone may talk
  
   (Try it now - when finished, we’ll proceed)
Reflection on the “Blind
Equilateral Triangle”
    Who assumed leadership roles?
  
   Did the leadership role shift during the
    activity?
   Did you follow, even though you were not
    sure the idea would work?
   What’s good about this leadership style?
   What didn’t you like about the “Big Boss”?
   How could “shared leadership” work in our
    Troop?
Identifying the Traits of a Good
Leader:
    1.
  
   2.
   3.
   4.
   5.
   6.
   7.
Now let’s watch the next video
  segment, “Cooperation”
         (resume video)
Some comments on the video
    Tommy’s question led to a better job of
  
    packing
   No put-downs, or “I’ll take charge”, just a
    focus on the problem
   Teenagers get bossed around enough -
    Scouting ought to be different
   The alternative to the “big boss” style is
    shared leadership, helping others to set
    goals and assist in reaching them
Standing Tall, Up Front -
   The Job of the Senior Patrol Leader:

      The master of ceremonies
  
      – makes sure things happen as planned
      Looks ahead to “next time”
  
      – did the original plan really work out well?
      – what should we do differently next time?
      – should hold a critique after each activity
      Looks at your friend, the Scoutmaster, as a
  
      resource
Helping Others Grow =
    When someone doesn’t do the assigned
  
    task, it is your job to find someone who will
   Resist the urge to pick up a dropped ball
    and run with it -
      – Rather, pick it up and pass it to someone else
      – this is called DELEGATING
         » Delegating is one trait of a good leader
         » It allows others to grow in experience
The SPL has lots of helpers to
call upon:
      the Assistant Senior Patrol Leader
  
      – that’s what assistants are for
    Scribe, Quartermaster, etc.
  
   Other junior leaders
The Senior Patrol Leader
      is elected by the
  
      Scouts to represent
      them as the top junior
      leader in the troop

      Scoutmaster

Activity #3 - My Friend, the
Potato
    observe closely the potatoes you have
  
    received
   introduce “your potato” to the group
      – tell us about unique size, shape, etc.
    now we’ll put the potatos back in the bag,
  
    mix them up, and retrieve them one by one
   do you recognize “your” potato
Reflection on “My Friend the
Potato”
    What really happened here?
  
   In what ways are we all alike?
   How do these similarities help us get things
    done?
Are differences good or bad?
    How are we different from one another?
  
   How do differences strengthen the group as
    a whole?
   When do differences keep a group from
    reaching its goal?
   How can we find out about the special
    qualities and abilities of each member of
    our troop?
   Are these talents differences?
I’m hungry - how about you?
      pick up a food sack and let’s eat!
  
Reflection on the meal activity
      Did we think before we acted?
  
      – how many people were there to feed?
      – how much, and what kinds of food was
        available
      – how did we handle any “shortages”
      – what is the 12th point of the Scout Law?
      – are there other Law points relevant here?
A Leader’s comment -
      Our success as leaders will be determined
  
      by how well we are able to take the unique
      talents of each member of our group and
      mold them into a team committed to
      accomplishing a common goal
New let’s watch the next video
segment - Problem Solving (first
             part)
    This segment deals with problem
    solving - there are three sequential
      steps a boy can take to frame a
       problem and see it in a larger
                 context ...
Steps to frame a problem:
    Empathy - put yourself in the other’s place
  
   Invention- invent as many solutions as you
    can
   Selection - which is best for the most
    people - caring is as important as justice
   Now here’s the video ......
   (start video, proceed afterwards)
Activity #5 - the “Tent Scene”
    divide into groups of about three people
  
   discuss how your group would resolve the
    conflict over the tent flaps
   each group will then present their solution
    in the form of a skit or role-playing
   after all skits completed, we’ll return to the
    video to see how Tommy solved the
    problem
   (let’s do it now)
Activity #6 - “Nine Magazines”
    the purpose of this activity is to show how
  
    Scouts may need to look at several possible
    alternatives before arriving at a no-lose
    situation
   if you think you have the solution, become
    the “guesser”. If you are correct, you’ll
    then become the “medium”
   when it seems most of us have the answer,
    we’ll return to the video
   (play the game now, then go to video)
Activity #7 - The “Scene” with
Tommy and Sam
    Divide yourselves into two groups
  
   Use empathy, invention, and selection to
    deal with the Sam and Tommy problem
   Each group is to select two actors to portray
    their group’s solution
Reflection on Activity #7
    how was group #1’s solution different from
  
    group #2?
   which solution do you prefer, and why?
   what alternatives might we have missed?
   was it a win/win solution? why or why not?
   how would you feel in Sam’s place?
   how could the problem have been avoided?
A Patrol Duty Roster can be
Handy
    It matches expected chores to available
  
    people
   It rotates the people among the chores
      – everyone should have a chance at the “fun”
        stuff
      – just as everyone should have a chance at the
        “necessary” stuff
      Patrol Scribe can save them for future
  
      reference
Review troop and patrol job
descriptions -
    any questions in genera about troop and
  
    patrol jobs?
   do you have any questions about your
    specific job?
   what do you plan to do better than your
    predecessor did?
   how will you do it?
   what help can the rest of us give you?
It Really Helps to Be Well
Informed
    You can’t lead if you don’t know where
  
    you are going
   Sources of information
      –   Patrol Leaders’ Council Meetings
      –   Troop Meetings
          The Troop 25 Bugler
      –
      ¯   Yorkshire Troop 25 Virtual Scout Room Web
          Page
How Can I Remember
Everything?
      Pocket note pad and pen/pencil
  
      – In left breast pocket at all times
      Three ring binder (three styles)
  
      – Zippered edge retains loose items
      – Clear insert covers let you customize
         » Leadership Certificate on front, roster on back
      – Flexible cover fits in pack
Three Ring Binder Tips
    Use a 1-31 date index sheet
  
   Keep index up to date in front or back cover
    insert
   Keep copies in it of
      – JLTC notes
      – issues of The Troop 25 Bugler
      – any handouts from Troop and PLC
        meetings, etc..
Importance of Troop Roster
    Keep a copy in your wallet at all times
  
   Useful for musters
   Useful to “spread the word”
Troop or Patrol Emergency
Notification
    SM calls SPL and 5 ASM’s
  
   Each SPL calls ASPL and each patrol
    leader
      – ASPL calls QM, Scribe, Bugler, etc.
      Each Patrol Leader calls APL and 1/2 the
  
      patrol
      – ASPL calls the other 1/2 patrol
Looking the part
    You are a role model. You should be proud
  
    to WEAR your scout uniform, and wear it
    CORRECTLY at all scout functions.
   How do I know what is correct?
      – Inside front and back covers of the Boy Scout
        Handbook
      – Boy Scout/Varsity Scout Uniform Inspection
        Sheet, No. 34283
      – Insignia Guide, No. 33064
      Check your our own uniforms as we go
  
      along
Common Uniform Mistakes
    Belt tab and buckle not “brass on brass”
  
   Misplacement of service stars
      – Make a template from a plastic milk carton to
        help you
      – Keep the template in your shirt pocket - it will
        survive the washer!
The Metal Rank Pin
      You should not wear both the metal rank
  
      pin and the cloth rank patch at the same
      time
      – Use one or the other, but not both
      – Metal pin may be used on campaign hat
      – Save it for your son or grandson
Nameplates
      Nameplates (optional) when worn should
  
      be
      – above the BSA strip and
      – above the interpreter strip
      – above the WEARER’S right breast pocket
Order of the Arrow Sash
      The OA sash is not to be worn with the
  
      merit badge sash.
Merit Badge Sash
    The Insignia Guide, p. 4 says “Only
  
    temporary patches (no badges of rank) may
    be worn on the back of the merit badge
    sash.
   Only one merit badge sash may be worn.
Quality Unit Award
    Right Sleeve, Most Recent Year Only
  
   4” below seam or
   If Baden Powell Patrol Star is worn
      – below and touching it
Headgear Regulations
      Official headgear may be worn while the
  
      unit or individual is participating in an
      indoor formal ceremony or service duty
      (except in religious institutions where
      custom forbids)
      – Flag ceremonies, inspections, orderly duty,
        ushering service
When Not to Wear Your
Headgear
      In informal indoor activity where no official
  
      ceremony is involved, headgear is removed
      as when in street clothes.
Drum and Bugle Corps Uniforms
    Members wear the official uniform for their
  
    registration status
   Special helmets, scarves, gloves, unofficial
    leggings, and the carrying of ceremonial
    guns and swords while in the uniform of the
    Boy Scouts of America is a violation of the
    Rules and Regulations of the Boy Scouts of
    America.
Musician Badge
      The Musician Badge is the only special
  
      insignia that may be worn by members of
      scout drum & bugle corps. It is worn on the
      right sleeve centered 1/2” below the patrol
      medallion.
Varsity Scout Letter
      Varsity Scout letter, cloth No. 00047, may
  
      be worn
      – on right breast of jacket or
      – on bottom front of the merit badge sash
Embroidered Square Knots
      Remember “Right Side Up”
  
      – The loop of the embroidered square knot that
        comes in front of the standing part is always to
        the wearer’s right.
Time Out for a Uniform
Inspection
Now let’s view the video “Team
Building”
      (view video now, then proceed)
  
Activity #8 - “Willow in the
Wind”
    Stand shoulder to shoulder in a circle
  
   One person, “the faller”, stands rigid and
    trusting in the center
   Remaining rigid, the faller falls slowly in
    any direction
   Before he falls too far, redirect him to
    another part of the circle
   This “fall-catch-push” sequence should
    continue until the faller feels relaxed, and
    the team feels they are working together
Here it is - the Big One!
      The “Trust Fall”
  
      – each Scout will be asked in turn to stand atop a
        five foot platform and fall backwards into the
        waiting arms of the rest of us
      – close your eyes prior to, and during the fall
      – keep your arms close to your sides (hands
        grasping trousers, or crossed over chest)
      – fall with your body rigid, not bending at the
        waist (There’s more ...)
More “Trust Fall” instructions
    remove all objects from your pockets
  
   catchers should remove jewelry
   two lines of catchers stand facing each
    other, shoulder to shoulder
      – hands extended, palms up, hands alternated
        (zippered!)
      – close together to form a safe landing area
      Catchers: don’t lock hands with the person
  
      facing you
      – Knocked heads would result
“Trust Fall” communications
    We will need a communications code
  
    between faller and catchers
   Faller: “Ready to fall!”
   Catchers: “Fall away!”
   Faller: “Falling!”
   ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE
    PROCEED?
      – If not, let’s do it now
Reflections on “Willow” and
“Trust Fall”
    What did you like about these two games?
  
   What is scary about the trust fall?
   How is the trust fall like what we have been
    talking about today?
   How will trusting each other help us to have
    a better troup?
Goal Setting
      How about your patrol becoming a “Baden
  
      Powell Patrol”
      – see Junior Leader Handbook for details
      How about our troop becoming a “Quality
  
      Unit” this year?
      – the Scoutmaster has the details
      What other goals do we want to set?
  
Where to get more information
    Other training sessions
  
   List books, articles, electronic sources
   Consulting services, other sources
Trained Leader Emblem
                     Available to all
                 
                     leaders who have
                     completed the basic
                     training programs
                     appropriate to their
                     positions.
                     Worn immediately
                 
                     below and touching
                     the emblem of office
                     for which it was
                     earned.
A Note to Den Chiefs -
    Your training today is for the position you
  
    hold in the Troop.
   There is a special den chief training
    conference for the den chief position you
    hold in the Pack.
“Trained” Emblem is Job
Specific
      The Trained Leader emblem may be worn
  
      only in connection with the emblem of
      office for which basic training has been
      completed.
Closing Reflection from the
Leader
    Today we had fun, and met some
  
    challenges
   We’ve learned new skills to be better
    leaders
   How can we use these experiences to make
    our Troop even better?
