*On counciling a boy...
NEVER DO THIS IN PRIVATE!
*You can take them aside in full view... but do not take them in a closed

*allways 2 deep leadership- 2 leaders 1 boy or 2 boys 1 leader...
also- don't dig potato's! *(leave well enough alone, let professionals
handle what professionals handle!)
Our relationship is to be friendly,open and well above board!
