Patrol Leaders
SOME few Scoutmasters are still behind the time, and consequently their Troops
are behind the average, in not making sufficient use of their Patrol Leaders.
They ought to give the sub-officers as much liberty of action as they like to
get themselves from their District Associations or Commissioners.
They must hold the Patrol Leader responsible for everything good or bad that
occurs in his Patrol.
They must put responsibility upon him, let him do his job, and if he makes
mistakes let him do so, and show him afterwards where he went wrong -- in this
way only can he learn.
Half the value of our training is to be got by putting responsibility on young
shoulders. It is especially valuable for taming the wilder spirits; it gives
them a something which they like to take up instead of their equally heroic
but less desirable hooligan pursuits.
April, 1910.
