"Resilience is an evergreen topic of interest. People are naturally drawn to information on how to improve self-care, develop a rich circle of friends, gain and maintain a healthy perspective, as well as become more attuned to ways of uncovering and productively spending periods of alone time. Such opportunities help improve self-awareness and understanding. They help improve our emotional intellect so we don't immediately react but instead pause to reflect and process life as it unfolds. Self-care, friendship, a healthy perspective, and reflective periods also aid us to balance independence and collaboration as well as know how much psychological safety is needed so we can risk without being rash"--

Being a scoutmaster can be one of the most rewarding things a person can do. But it can be a lot of work! Ask any scoutmaster what’s the hardest part of the job, and one of the most common responses you will get would be coming up with the scoutmaster’s minutes. Week after week, over fifty times a year, the scoutmaster must come up with an inspiring, educational, and entertainment message for the Scouts. Let’s face it. Not every scoutmaster is the most gifted public speaker. Research shows that the number one fear of people is speaking in public. Just because a scoutmaster loves to hike, camp, teach, lead, and motivate, doesn’t mean that they are comfortable speaking in front of a group. And how do you come up with inspiring stories, instructional words of wisdom and motivational messages, week after week? Long-time Scout leader, Larry Carpenter, has written a book that can be a lifesaver for any scoutmaster. This collection of 100 of the best scoutmaster’s minutes offers brief messages that are themed to topics, including the Scout Oath, Law, Motto and Slogan. Additional minutes cover other topics, such as persistence, honesty, leadership, and other positive character traits. This book makes a perfect gift for your scoutmaster. Or, if you are a scoutmaster who is on the spot once a week, make it a gift to yourself!
