ScoutMaster Minutes

The best way to wrap up a meeting and make sure everyone knows it is time to go is to close with ScoutMaster Minutes. This is an opportunity for the ScoutMaster to address the troop and leave them with something to think about. It is usually a short story with a moral, a quote, or a thought. There's no reason why den leaders and CubMasters can't use the same method of closing their meetings.

You may find that some of these anecdotes and tales are useful for scoutmaster conferences to impress an ideal on a scout. Scoutmasters should keep a handful of fresh short stories ready for when opportunities arise whether at a troop meeting, around a campfire, or on a hike.
