What does it really mean to have a Youth-Run program in your unit?![]() Most Scout Leaders believe their units are Youth-Run. If you wanted to objectively determine how Youth-Run they are, would you know what questions to ask?Here’s just one example question: If your unit has been strong, but changes in adult leadership have caused the unit to struggle, this is usually an indication that your Youth-Run program isn’t as strong as it could or should be. A strong Youth-Run program makes the adult leaders easily interchangeable, without any major disruptions of the program. This is due to the youth running the program. Your youth leaders are constantly training and preparing the next group of youth leaders. It can be a virtually self-propagating and requires just a little coaching and mentoring to keep the program on track.Come to Wood Badge next month and learn about more tools to better enable your Youth-Run unit. All levels of Scouting are encouraged to attend.As Robert Baden Powell once said, “Every boy deserves a trained leader” and that includes the your unit. Join us and catch the Wood Badge magic!Weekend #1: Friday 9/11 to Sunday 9/13/2015 Weekend #2: Saturday 9/26 to Monday 9/28/2015Course Director: Colt Rhoads Theme: Youth-Run is FUN-damental Home Unit: Troop 1134 Awards: Camporee Presidential Award in Pacifica District for the last 17 years in a row.
