Troop 130 New Scout Agenda

This quote was in BSA literature for the Orientation of new parents:

Boy Scouting is different (then Cub Scouting)... In Boy Scouting the role of the adults is not the destination, but the journey. That is, our responsibility as adults is to promote the "process" of Scouting. What is important to us is:

>Not the food on the campout, that the boys cooked it.
>Not a sharp-looking flag ceremony, that the boys put it together.
>Not who would make the best Patrol Leader, that the boys elect one.
>Not that Johnny learns first aid, but that Billy teaches him
>Not that we cover everything on a meetings agenda, but that the Senior Patrol Leader is in charge.
