Scoutmaster MinuteScoutmaster Minute
Legend has it that Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of Boy Scouts, would take a small amount of ashes from a completed campfire and then sharing those ashes at the next campfire. Why? Each day in Scouting is a new experience and by sharing the ashes of a campfire, we take those experiences, new skills and memories to pass along.
Traditionally, a Scoutmaster Minute is used to close a meeting or campfire. Normally, it is a story, some advice or observation that ties everything to the Scout experience. In almost every case, the Scoutmaster Minute is based on experiences from the Scoutmaster or any adult leader. We hope to share our experiences, observations and memories by publishing monthly (and sometimes more frequently), an article that hopes to better the Scouting experience in Troop 368--to share our campfire ashes.
