James Cook As A Leader Of A Boy Scout Patrol
James Cook

Some days, there are more downs than ups, but as a leader I have to learn from what happened and try to make it better for next time. As a leader of a Boy Scout Patrol can be stressful when dealing with young scouts, around 12-14, that usually do not like to respect their leaders. At the age around 12 and 13, they will listen to what you are saying, but will not do that action that you asked of them. This is challenging for me, and many other Patrol leaders or any other type of leader, because as a leader you want to be heard and when you are not being given that respect it makes you

    I do not disagree nor agree with the court's decision on the Boy Scouts of America vs Dale case, I am on the fence of this case for two reasons. I believe that expelling him from his position as assistant troop leader deprives him of his equal rights and is also considered discrimination based on his sexual orientation. I believe Dales homosexuality isn't disabling anyone from carrying out their duties nor is he pushing his beliefs on or influencing the children in anyway to engage in relations with…
