Only problem with that is that we are not to discipline any
boy in front of the others. Right there in the Leaders manual and LTC Course.
This causes public humiliation which can be hard to undo. We have a 2 page
problem sheet to fill out and go over with the boy. care for a copy
anyone?

Great post Adrian.
Here is the Discipline policy we used
in my outpost. It is based on one created by Adrian's Senior COmmander, Paul
Robinson:
---------------------
The advantages of a discipline
policy are numerous and include:
� helping
your leaders understand what to do
� being
consistent
� a
great fall back against a "hostile" or rather upset parent ("Well the
discipline policy states...")
� a
load of your mind (because you know you ought to have something like this...)
Blaxland Royal Rangers Discipline Code
Control and
supervision
1. Each outpost leader is responsible for the
control and supervision of their own group. Each ranger should be disciplined
in a constructive and positive manner and within the guidelines laid down in
Royal Ranger leader's materials and the Child Protection Manual.
2. If a
ranger continues to disobey their commander, is rebellious and continues to
disrupt and disturb the group, the commander will bring the child to the
Senior Commander for a Formal Discipline Parade.
Formal
Discipline Parade
3. In the Formal Discipline Parade, the
commander and the child stand and face the Senior Commander and the commander
states the offence.
4. The child is asked whether they agree with the
commanders account of the incident and whether they would like to add anything
further.
5. The child is then asked if they are sorry for their
actions.
6. The Senior Commander will encourage the child to repent for the
rebellious act.
7. The Senior Commander and commander then express their
forgiveness to the child.
Punishment
8.
The Senior Commander will then determine the punishment for the offence. Any
punishment should take into account the age of the child and the severity of
the offence. The Senior Commander may confer with the commander and advise of
any punishment subsequent to the Formal Discipline Parade.
Escalation to suspension
9. If a Ranger continues to
be rebellious and a disruption to the group, and the behaviour is not
consistent with their repentance, then the option to suspend the child for 1
or 2 nights or deny attendance to a forthcoming outing is considered. Prior to
this action, a letter is sent home to the parents, and followed up with a
personal visit to attain parental involvement and agreement.
10. Longer
term suspension is considered after repeated short term suspensions. Prior to
this action, a letter is sent home to the parents, and followed up with a
personal visit to gauge the home life, parent involvement with the child and a
method for further referral is agreed on.
General
comments
Never take a child out of site of the
group.
Physical punishment is strictly forbidden.

forgotten

I know if I smack a boy, I'd
out thrown out of Rangers. For me, I would ask the child a
second time
and explain why, then if he persists he is in rebellion and the Senior
Commnader needs to become involved. And unless the Snr Commander request
you
stay, you leave it up to him.
Some might see this as passing the
buck, but it is not, it is used the chain of
commander within the
Outpost. The boy then must face the consquences of his
actions as
decided by the Commander.
There's a storm coming, our
Storm.
