They want to lead!!!

I got a text message from a boy who had moved from my Varsity Team to a Utah Team.  This is what the text said:

"UGGGG!  My Scout leaders do everything.  They cook for us on High Adventure!"

What a huge compliment this is to Baden Powell and his "boy lead program".

I told him "Want a quote to show them?"

He replied "I probably won't show it to them but it will probably make me feel better so yes."

My final response was "Remember Scout's name, this is YOUR program and not the leaders.  Here is your quote: "When you want a thing done 'Don't do it yourself' is a good motto for a Scoutmaster (or Varsity Coach)".

SCOUT LEADERS: DON'T LEAD.  TEACH THEM TO LEAD AND GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!
