Product Description
by Clarke Green (Author)
The Scouting Journey is a map for Scouters guiding Scouts on a voyage of challenge, adventure, and achievement.
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.
I know the trail, here's your map - lets's get going
It's up to you to take the first step
