tight

upright standing position

Repeat, adding more and more people on each side, until

everyone is included

(Start now)


9/89

Reflection on Everybody Up

Were you eventually able to get everybody

included, and upright?

Is there any real limit to the number of peoplethat can play this game, as long as they work

together?

Would Yurt Circle, and Everybody Up be fungames for the Troop?


10/89

To learn a leadership skills that work great in

Scouting

Overview

Im a leader - what do Ido now?

Being a leader is more than an honor, its a

challengeYou lead Troop 92 and your Patrol

You decide the course the Patrol and Troop will

follow along the Scouting trailYou help others master Scouting skills

You are a role model for other Scouts.


12/89

WhatIs Leading Anyway?

If others think of you as the boss, youre

probably not leading.

If they think of you as one of the guys andeverything you set out to do is getting done,

youre probably a good leader.


13/89

Skills and Techniques of Successful

Scout Leaders:

They ask a lot of questions

They make a lot of suggestions

They dont give too many ordersThey use the Scoutmaster andAssistant

Scoutmasters as resources.

18/89

Now lets watch a video segment on

leadership

(Start the first video segment now)


19/89

Lets TryActivity #1

Kims Game -- The JLT Way (The JLT way is with at least 100 items. Items are shown for 1 minute, Scouts keep silent. All scouts do it individually, with the Scoutmaster acting as the big boss. Then they do it a second

time, they all look at the items for 1 minute in silence, then the Scoutmaster gives one instruction -- Iwant one list. The object is to see how they solve the problem, who steps up to leadership,

etc. Delete this text before you show these viewgraphs.)


20/89

Reflection on the Kims Game

Who took the leadership role?

How did decisions get made?

What didnt 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?


21/89

Reflection on Kims Game

Who took the leadership role the second time?

How did decisions get made?

Why did we do this activity two different ways

23/89

Now lets watch the next video

segment, Cooperation

(resume video)


24/89

Some comments on the video

Tommys question led to a better job of packing

No put-downs, or Ill take charge, just a focus

on the problemTeenagers get bossed around enough -

Scouting ought to be different

The alternative to the big boss style is sharedleadership, helping others to set goals and

assist in reaching them


25/89

Standing Tall, Up Front -

The Job of the SPL:

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 activityLooks at your friend, the Scoutmaster, as a

resource


26/89

Helping Others Grow

When someone doesnt do the assigned task, it is

the SPLs job to find someone who will

Resist the urge to pick up a dropped ball and runwith 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

Reflection on My Tree

What did you like about this activity?

What skills were developed in this activity?

How did you find your tree?

Did you trust your partner? Why or why not?

Did you want the other person to succeed or not?

Why?

How is having a disability for only a short time differentfrom having to deal with a situation for a lifetime?


53/89

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?


54/89

Im hungry - how about you?

Pick up a food sack and lets eat!


55/89

Reflection on the meal activity

When you first opened you bag, did you consider not

sharing? Why? What happened?

How did the group work together to prepare lunch?

What happened?

Were all ideas given fair consideration? How did you

feel if your idea was rejected?

How difficult was it to reach a decision all could agreeon?


56/89

A Leaders 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


57/89

What are our Common Goals?

1.

2.

3.4.

6.7.

Here are Some of our Common


58/89

Here are Some of our Common

Goals

1. Treat everyone fairly -- share the

responsibilities, share the effort

2. Each Patrol works as a Team3. Each Patrol has an identity -- flag, yell, their

own equipment, etc

3. Everyone feels that they belong -- no put-downs, harassing, etc.

4. Everyone is safe


59/89

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 ...

Problem Solving (first part)


60/89

Steps to frame a problem:

Empathy - put yourself in the others place

Invention - invent as many solutions as you can

Selection - which is best for the most people - caring is

as important as justice

Now heres the video ......

(start video, proceed afterwards)


61/89

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, well return to the video to see

how Tommy solved the problem (Lets do it now)


62/89

Activity #6 - Magic Numbers

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

The leader will use items such as pencils or sticks tomake an interesting pattern on the ground.

The object is to guess the number represented.


63/89

Reflection on Magic Numbers

How did you feel during the game? Why?

How did you feel as other members of the group figured out the

problem?

What made this activity difficult? Why? How did the leadership role shift as the game progressed? How

did someone else manage to gain the leadership role?

What have you learned during this activity that can help you fulfill

your position in the troop more effectively? (Go to the video)

Activity #7 The Scene with


64/89

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 problemEach group is to select two actors to portray

their groups solution


65/89

Reflection on Activity #7

How was group #1s 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 Sams place?

How could the problem have been avoided?


66/89

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
