What the Leader Must Know
What must you, as the leader, know to be able to help the group? You must know:
1. The members and be interested in their welfare.
2. Their hopes, ambitions, abilities, limitations and prejudices.
3. The things the members want to learn, or at least where and how to get the knowledge,such as woodcraft skills.
4. How to motivate members to want to learn new skills and gain new attitudes.
Without motivation no learning takes place and without learning the member stagnates and consequently finds no satisfaction from being a part of the group.
5. How to establish communication between the members of the group.
6. How to conduct or supervise meetings, discussions, and informal activities. Within White Stag, these include campfires, singing, Sunday services, troop leader councils, work parties and so forth. Common experiences that the group enjoys or that they are proud of help weld the group together.
7. How to assess his own effectiveness, how to get the group to evaluate itself, its goals and its progress toward them. This in turn becomes a powerful motivating force for further learning.
