Dear Little John:
I have tried this once especially when the boys were being exceedingly difficult but I
did plan for it and didn't do it on the spur of the moment. I told the boys well in
advance that this is what was going to take place to at least get them mentally
prepared for it. It was a very sobering experience to some boys that were rather
difficult.
One thing I might ask you to examine yourself on is do you let your boys get the
impression that they are in control but gently guide them in the right direction? I
found that the more I let boys run the meetings and not try to dominate them the more
positive results occur. How much control I have depends on how old the group of boys
are
chronologically, mentally and spiritually. Young Buckaroos and Straight arrows rely
more on their leaders than the oldest and well grounded Challengers and FCF, ready to
take the lead. Play it by ear fine sir!
