The Scoutmaster Minute » The Scoutmaster Minute http://www.ptcmedia.net Hi! My name is Jerry and I am the Scoutmaster of Troop 664 in Gresham, OR. A while back someone told me to write stuff down, to share my Scouting experience with other people. And so I created a blog. You can read it here. That blog lead to some folks asking me to try my hand at podcasting, and that is where this site came from. I suppose to let you know a bit about me, I have been in Scouting nearly all my life. I had the best opportunities to be a Scout as a youth in the Transatlantic Council while we lived in Holland. It was Scouting like you can not imagine. Later we moved to Louisiana were Scouting took a sharp turn to an adventure in Backpacking. This led to a life long love of Backpacking and the rest as they say is History. One day, my oldest Son brought home a flyer to join Cub Scouts and our Scouting life started up again. I have been an adult leader since then. I have enjoyed serving as a Den leader, Cubmaster, and now the most rewarding position of all, Scoutmaster.

Starting in Cub Scouts when the Scout learns the value of obedience, all the way up through adulthood, when the Scout manifests his leadership in his daily life.

We also learn a little about a great Scout and Scouter that, without his leadership and influence, the BSA would not have taken root.  Listen in as I introduce you to a Scouter that had an influence on me personally, William “Green Bar Bill” Hillcourt.
