*Suggestion-
You cannot be an effective Commander without deligateing the
leadership enough so that you know each boy by name and something
about him. By asking, probeing or haveing a quick word each meeting,
and perhaps keeping a notebook handy, you jot down trivia... intrests
with each boy, and the 'remembering of where you left off, translates
into a signal of respect. Respect with time becomes trust!
*Trust is the goal, and *Love is the outcome!

A leader can "set the tone" and the agenda for encounters that
allow a mutual discovery of the path to understanding.
*Games with meaning... *frank discussions of ethics....
Ask "Reflective questions!" and let the answers drive the direction
of the conversation, untill every Ranger is "getting something"...
What else?
