Scoutmaster Minute: Welcome to 2021! We would like to take this opportunity to recalibrate and get all the Scouts in a position to monitor and track their progress…literally put responsibility in the plam of thier hand. The tasks outlined below are designed to support that activity and will help leadership make some informed decisions about how to stucture this years Merit Badge University (MBU). Given current limts on meetings @CUMC, we will seek to replace Tuesday meetings with MBU type offerings and/or weekend outings that are under consideration by the PLC.

An individual step in character training is to put responsibility on the individual.
