The Scouting Journey
The Scouting Journey is a map for Scouters guiding Scouts on a voyage of challenge, adventure, and achievement
When we volunteer our time to Scouting, we join a worldwide movement that simply, yet profoundly, asserts we can make the world a better place.
Scouting’s continued relevance hinges on the attitude of each individual Scouter. We are good, practical people concerned about the next meeting or camping trip. We have plenty of forms to fill in, records to maintain, and plans to develop. All those practicalities are meaningless if we don’t strive to grasp less practical, less tangible elements of Scouting.
I have shared a thousand campfires, camped many nights, hiked, and canoed many miles in the company of Scouts and Scouters. As we covered literal trails through the wilderness, my Scouts were travelling the figurative trail toward adulthood.
I have seen Scouting’s tremendous transformative potential at work. Scouting needs folks who are willing to get going and keep going more than it needs experts or heroes. It’s up to you to take the first step!
I know the trail, here’s your map—let’s get going!

Very useful -- a somewhat modern update of BP's original "Aids to Scoutmastership"

I've made several attempts to read Baden-Powell's Aids to Scoutmastership, but I don't think I've ever made it all the way through without losing the thread. It's not a long book, but the 1920's language and ideas required a continual translation in my head.
Clarke Green has set out to write the same kind of advice for today's Scouters, with great success. This is easy to read and a great introduction to what it means to be an adult leader in Scouting.
Highly recommended.
