Praise for Working the Patrol Method
I ordered the book and read it. I have been a SM for 12 years and a Scout since I was 8 years old. I am so happy that you wrote this book. This is how I run our troop and the way I feel about the Scouting program. I am writing a TLT course that will emphasis the 8 methods of Scouting and will include a lot from your book. Your book should be required reading for every SM. -Scoutmaster
Purchased the book and loving it. Great stuff. - Scoutmaster
I purchased a second book as a gift for a good friend of mine. I would have loved to been able to collaborate with your authors. The patrol method is near and dear to me and I attribute my 25 years as a successful Scoutmaster to that! - NYLT Advisor
Taking the advice that the patrol method is the only method, I'm hoping your book will help equip and focus all the leaders to better develop these boys into honorable young men, young leaders with Scout character. Thanks again for your labor of love. -Scoutmaster
Thank you to you and all the authors. It is a quality product, and at least one troop is implementing it in leadership training. First, I've read it. Several times. I shared it with several adults in my troop. Our committee chair had me order three copies for the troop library. I've shared it at our most recent roundtable, where I saw several scouters wrote down the URL. I've implemented portions of it in our TLT this past weekend. - Committee Member
I believe that the book will be quite helpful. We are trying to instill the boy-led approach, while ensuring safety and bearing in mind legal responsibilities. Restraint and proper channeling of adult enthusiasm looks to be one of our challenges, as is how to train the boys in the context of the boy-led concept. – Scoutmaster
