Scoutmaster Minutes

Fresh Start

Only One

Cheerful Service

Honesty
Honesty is an important virtue. This brief inspirational thought can be used as a Scoutmaster minute to remind Scouts that it is better to be honest from the start than to try to cover our mistakes by shading the truth.

Gratitude
Challenge your Scouts BSA to show their gratitude for those who have passed on their ideals by doing more than just saying the Scout Oath and Law, but by living them.
Hope for the Future
When I look at the young men and women I work with in Scouts BSA and Venturing, I have nothing but hope for the future.

Boredom
This Scoutmaster minute addresses boredom. Why not encourage our Scouts to take that unfilled space in their lives and turn it into something useful?
All Ages

Thanksgiving
This makes a nice Scoutmaster Minute or Cubmaster Minute or even just a good reflection for a family gathering in the fall. This is based on something in some old BSA program helps.
Threads and Flags
The US flag is a symbol of our country. When we honor it, when honor all of those who have protected our freedom through the years, especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our liberty.
Gandhi’s Shoe
This Cubmaster or Scoutmaster minute uses a story about Gandhi to demonstrate what being cheerful and having a positive attitude means. For Cub Scouts, you could even have a few den chiefs act this out while you tell the story.
