The Leadership Dojo

Practical leadership challenges for Patrol Leaders. Read the scenario, discuss with your team, and decide on the best course of action.

The Excluded Scout

Leadership Challenge

The Situation

"You notice that three scouts in your patrol are constantly hanging out together and ignoring the fourth scout, who is sitting alone whittling during free time. When you ask them to include him, they roll their eyes."


The Challenge

How do you build unity in this patrol?

Things to Consider

Forced inclusion often backfires. Can you create a task that requires everyone to work together? Can you lead by example?
