Troop 286 Meeting Plan

12/11/23

Gathering Activity:  7:00 pm – 7:15 pm:  Patrol Leader’s Choice (Cameron and Mark be ready with an activity)

Opening:  7:15 pm

Citizenship in Society Merit Badge Entire Troop Discussion:  7:20 pm – 8:15 pm

Discuss with your counselor what leadership means to you.

Share what it means to make ethical decisions.

  • Research and share with your counselor an individual you feel has demonstrated positive leadership while having to make an ethical decision. (It could be someone in history, a family member, a teacher, a coach, a counselor, a clergy member, a Scoutmaster, etc.)
  • Explain what decision and/or options that leader had, why you believe they chose their final course of action, and the outcome of that action.

Consider ethical decision-making.

  • Think about a time you faced an ethical decision.
  • Discuss the situation, what you did, and how it made you feel.
  • Share if you would do anything differently in the future and if so, what that would be.

We will discuss this: give three examples of ethical decisions you might have to make in the future at school, at home, in the workplace, or in your community, and what you would do.

  • Share how your actions represent alignment with the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
  • Explain to your counselor how you plan to use what you have learned to assist you when that time comes, and what action(s) you can take to serve as an upstander and help other people at all times.

Please be ready to verbally provide your own thoughts on this, not someone else’s.  I will be asking everyone to participate in this discussion.

Closing:  8:15 pm

PLC talk to Mrs Mayback about our Holiday Party Plans for next week.

Yours in Scouting,

Dan
