All, I'm in the process of developing a Gold Bar class that will discuss the "ethics of leadership". This advanced class will be given specifically to Royal Rangers who are in a position of leadership in their outpost (yes, Duane, the _PATROL_ leaders). I have done a lot of research on ethics and how it relates to leadership, and have come to the conclusion that Rangers may perhaps have an easier time of it because our standard of ethics is very well defined (i.e., the Bible). I would, however, put two questions to you for discussion:
1) Do you agree or disagree that the junior leader's choices are easier to make because he can ask "WWJD"? 2) Do you a specific situation to share that can be used as a case study for boys aged 14-17? Something that will make them think about the different options that they can face as junior leaders, AND WHICH CAN CAUSE THEM A MORAL DILEMMA? You can respond to me privately, or to the list. I'll compile all of your answers into a document which I'll make available to everyone.
