[Bobwhite Blather] Who has the keys?

[Bobwhite Blather Scouting Blog]

Bobwhite Blather has posted a new item, 'Who has the keys?'

One of the unique properties of the Boy Scout program is that it is boy-led.
It's not a program where adults put together activities that the youth members
merely participate in. When properly done, and when adults don't inappropriately
usurp their authority, the Scouts plan and lead their own program within the
boundaries of Scouting.

In one of his podcasts, Scoutmaster Clarke Green likened this to a game of
basketball. The players play the game but they do so according to the rules of
the game. And the coaches cannot step across the line and play the game for
them.

Recently, there was a thread on one of the discussion groups where the topic
drifted over to whether the boys actually take charge. "We never really give
them the keys,"
