council office and, most important, he's
a friend, counselor, batterv charger, and
a fountain of enthusiastic support. But
for my unit commissioner, Milt Wyatt,
who is a retired professional, I d have
quit at least once a month for the past
four years.
Scoutmaster K.S.G.
Dallas, Tex.
I expect a unit commissioner not only to
help the unit leader plan the program, I
would also want the commissioner to
work with the unit committee, to be on
good terms with the Scouting coordi-
nator, and he in contact with the head
of the chartered organization a couple
of times a year. In these ways, the unit
leader receives full support from the
unit commissioner, not just support for
a single segment—program help.

The question was quite adequately
answered in the January/February 1976
issue of Scouting magazine in an article
titled, "I Need Your Help, Mr. Com-
missioner. I 'd suggest that F.L. look up
that article.
District Commissioner W.A.
Wyandotte, Mich.
I feel that unit leaders want the fol-
lowing from their unit commissioner:
(1) Someone who will work with them
and understand their problems; (2)
someone who will stand up for the
rights and needs of units; (3) someone
who will bring information to the units
from meetings unit leaders cannot
make; (4) someone who will give unit
leaders the confidence thev need and
deserve.
Assistant District Commissioner J.G.

PL SEEKS RESPECT
I'm a patrol leader in a troop with many
new members and mv problem is disci-
pline. None of the Scouts respect my
authority. I usually refer problems to
the Scoutmaster, but he just talks to the
Scouts and then thev call me a tattletale.
They're not bad kids, but 1 just can't get
them to listen to ine. How do other
patrol leaders and Scoutmasters handle
this problem?
