Interesting!
That is a great *Fear of mine.. as I use the reaction of the boys to guage
my presentation. *I've found, like a quarterhourse... I only have short
brusts of energy, sitting on 250 pounds of pent up passion..<G> *a smart
little boy has amazeing abilities to provoke a "powerfull thing" by
pushing unseen buttons....
If I knew that the boys would eat the hay, I'd work at refineing out the
sticks... *But often it's a battle<G>
I'm hung up on the "Patrol Method"... a process of challengeing the boys
to leadership, then allowing them to mix it up, and for 3 years
*expeccting success... but seeing those rocks.. "Learn something in spite
of myself<G>"
*The campout last weekend...
Sr.Guide planned the food.. he's 14 and as confused as an Commander<G>
*So "we" picked pancakes- just add water..
*NEXT camp it'll be a skid of muffins!
Here's why... "few" boys alone work as a team. *except to mock or
get a laugh from others stress... the stove's knob became a argueing point
as a large boy "beleved" a high flame would be best.. and another boy
"beleved" NO flame was best..
The result was raw pancakes or burned pancakes.....
DINNER "A no-brainer sure fire meal"
-------
1 pot add water add spagitti to "boil" reduce heat and add cans of sauce
and add hot dogs..... *serve<G>
What if you put too much spagitti... didn't drain the water off?
