Scoutmaster Minute: Excellent day at the activity field with the new leadership team led by SPL Brian Staton. ASPL Programs Griffin Smith worked with former SPL Mikey Hannett in developing a soild workplan for the next few months. They are ready to go with some great ideas and plans. We did discuss servant leadership and with that in mind I am grateful for the support from our adult leaders – Jim Lakie, Paul, Taylor, Shawn Morrow, Chris Wilson, Kathy Tyalor, Brian Schultz and Elana Taylor. Looking back at the last week, we are also thankful for the Scouts that are joining our family and the growth of Scout Spirit as we recognized the new Order of the Arrow candidates. Finally, here are a few fitting quotes given todays training and because there is some serious March Madness happening (Go Syracuse!)
The will to succeed is important, 
but what’s more important is the will to prepare.
— Bobby Knight
If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. 
I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.

This meeting will be run to orient and prepare New Scouts for the April campout and work through some of the key requirements in Scout, Tenderfoot and 2nd Class Ranks.
