In our troop, we have a very solid cadre of older scouts, a leadership corps, who learn to be leaders by leading. We have a solid group of younger patrol and assistant patrol leaders.
We have a solid staff of a fantastic scoutmaster and several assistants. We have 63 registered adults on the roster and never lack from proper skills at the needed time.
Although registered I no longer participate in the active day to date leadership. My job is the best of all. I host the Eagle Courts that present the Eagle awards.
A very long answer given when only two were needed.
The boys.
The boys are always supposed to be the leaders with adult guidance and mentorship.
What’s your Troop’s response going to be when a homosexual boy comes “out” or joins?
Is he going to be afforded the opportunity to “lead”, be an “example” to the other boys?
If so, will the other boys “follow” him knowing what they know?
