[Committee] Draft Troop Junior Leader Training Manual

[Peter Reich]

Erik:

I think this very well organized and written, and is a good idea.

The one recommendation I have is that junior leaders be required to turn in a summary, or list of what they accomplished at the end of their term, rather than an event-by-event log.  For kids of this age, keeping a regular log is an additional burden that most of them will simply not meet, given their school, sports, and other responsibilities.  Since we don't exactly have an over-abundance of kids volunteering for these positions, we should minimize the difficulties.

Thanks for all your work and leadership.

Peter

In response to requests from Troop Committee members, I am in the process  of 
writing a Leadership Manual for Junior Leaders in the Troop. The manual will  
contain step-by-step procedures for various Troop and Patrol functions. I 
have  not finished the manual yet, but have most of the topics laid out. I would 
like  everyone to review the attached draft and let me know of any errors or 
additions  that you would like to see in the manual. If your Scout is a Junior 
Leader  please ask them what they think should be included in the manual.
 
I will continue to work on this manual as time permits and will make it  
available for download on the Troop website when it is done.
