Thoughts On Scouting: Ideas, Insights and Inspirations for Scouters

by Clarke Green

Through three decades of guiding my Scouts as a volunteer Scouter I’ve shared a thousand campfires with many great Scouts and Scouters. For the past eight years I have been maintaining a blog and podcast for my fellow volunteers at Scoutmastercg.com. I have a fondness for sayings, maxims, adages, mottoes, epigrams, proverbs, and aphorisms. There’s poetry and beauty in concisely expressing a complex thought in a few well-chosen words. All of the thoughts in this book were first published as 140 character long ‘tweets’, it’s been great fun to watch them take on a life of their own. They are offered to get you thinking about your work in Scouting, and as a source of inspiration. I’ve based some of my Scoutmaster minutes on these thoughts and have used them to liven up training sessions.
