Finding the Leadership Challenges
Baden Powell suggested that if you want the Scouts to be responsible you should give them responsibility. If you want the Scouts to lead than they must be given the opportunity to lead. What I have found is that most teen aged young men will first look for the "alternative" or easy way out, thus…
