I have been a Scoutmaster (currently just an adult leader) and involved with Scouting since I was a kid. All the things mentioned in the other posts are correct answers and are things we should all strive for. I can tell from personal experience that the biggest impact is made by setting a good example for them to follow all the lecturing and Scoutmaster minuets just don"t compare in terms of results to setting a good example. I can not tell you how many former Scouts and Eagle Scouts have found me years later and told me how much that appreciated the time I spent with them. I am not their favorite leader because I will tell it exactly how it is, no sugar here, no political correctness, just the facts and some guidance. If isn"t right your gonna know it. I always viewed my role to be a leader to them not a friend. The two can not be intermixed. Some of the more mature Scouts will see this and appreciate it now but most don"t truely recognize what is going on until much later, hence the comments from them years later. Good luck, you have a very important job (don"t forget it when times get tough) in which the pay is like an investment because you generally do not get to see it for years if at all.
