Great resource Mar 08, 2010
As a first time Assistant Scoutmaster I found this book to be a good resource. There are a number of items offered as suggestions that are more common sense than anything else, but it is still a good tool for the first-timer. One thing that differentiates this resource is the list of places to contact or websites to visit at the end of each section. These are the nuggets of information you continually write on the back of business cards and napkins to you can find them in the future. Ray has included these tidbits in an easy to find topical sections.

I would recommend this to my peers. It is a quick read, easy review of what we learn in training. The author is down-to-earth in the presentation of the materials and I would think this should be one of the tools in every Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster toolbox.

New Scoutmaster in Oklahoma Mar 02, 2010
I just took over a small Scout troop and remember somebody referencing this book. It doesn't read like a rule book but more like from a scoutmaster's viewpoint on what worked in his own Boy Scout Troop. It has the great ideas for troops of all sizes. Since I started to follow the book'ssuggestions, the boys attendance has picked up at the troop meetings.

Great ideas for Scout leaders Nov 10, 2009
Great, real life advice for Scout leaders. Not your typical overly idealistic text, but practical guidance for people in the real world. I highly recommend it to any Scout leaders.

This book is well thought out and it has a wealth of knowledge. It can break you out of that same ole routine and get you thinking about other opportunities to challenge and lead young men.
