Bill DeMarco. Having a background in so-
cial work for the past twenty-five years,
I find this personal counseling a worth-
while challenge to me as a Scoutmaster.
Like Jim, I interview the parents when
they bring a boy to my troop. I ask if the
boy has any problems that I should know
about. If he's shy or aggressive. How he
reacts to criticism. Things like that. One
boy a year ago was in a tremendous shell
because he had lost his mother. We got
him to camp this summer and paid that
extra attention to him that he needed.
Gradually he came out of his shell. Time
consuming? Yes. It is, because you just
can't take the chance of doing or saying
the wrong thing. Is it worthwhile? It sure
is. And no two boys are the same.
Peter Rapp. I think it's probably one of
the most worthwhile experiences a Scout-
master can have. In talking with a boy,
counseling with a boy, you can find out
what he is doing in the program and what
he can teach you about himself. You may
even help him without doing anything but
listening. By becoming a listening post I
can allow him to spell out what is bother-
ing him and maybe indirectly give him
some comments to guide his thinking.
Ralph Fingar. I couldn't agree more with
the ideal. But the practice of it is dif-
ficult. I think we have a problem in the
span of control, if you want to use that
phrase. Just too many boys for any
one man. I would think that a ratio of
one to twelve would be a better way to
implement this whole point of counseling.
So we might rethink the problem.
What I do in my troop is try to have
patrol dads, so there is a father in each
patrol that a patrol leader or any of the
boys can go to . . . Hero worship is al-
most one of the outstanding character
features of a boy from the age of eight
through fifteen. Athletic figures, of course,
serve as heroes for many boys. The
Scoutmaster who conducts himself in
a manner that reflects what Scouting is
all about, who is a solid citizen, fills
this role. I think it is really counsel-
ing indirectly every boy in the troop, even
though a Scoutmaster cannot spend as
much time with each boy as he would like
to so far as personal, individual rapport
goes. So again we have to be quite mind-
ful of our appearance, our conduct, the
way we speak, how we deal with the ex-
ceptions, whether we are spending too
much time with one boy and too little
with another, whether we have favorites in
the troop or try to ignore others because
they don't really please us in some way.
There are all kinds of interpersonal re-
lationships going on within any one group
in which Scoutmasters tend to be the
central figure.
Peter Rapp. I'd like to bring out one of
the most difficult problems in this whole
area. It is having one's own son in the
troop. All of a sudden you find yourself
in two roles. You put on one hat and you
are a Scoutmaster. You put on the other
hat and you are a father. All of a sudden
you are too critical of your own son—not
because you want to be, but because
you're afraid that if you don't criticize him
the other kids will think you're treating
him as a favorite. Then you have to get
into the Second Class situation where he
comes up for a counseling session. What
are you going to say? How do you coun-
sel with your own son? Still I think it of-
fers an opportunity for a father that he
might not otherwise have at home—an
opportunity to communicate with his
own son.
