Here’s an easy way to introduce visiting parents or new adult volunteers to the concept of youth leadership –  a Scout leader business card that explains things simply, politely yet directly.

THANK YOU FOR LENDING A HANDOur Scouts are on the field playing a game.
Head Coach = ScoutmasterTeam Captains = Youth LeadershipTeam Members = Scouts

  • Head coach manages communication with team captains.
  • No coaches or spectators allowed on the field of play.
  • Please do not directly instruct, advise or otherwise interfere with Scouts without first talking to the Scoutmaster.
  • Adults may stop unsafe or inappropriate activity immediately.

When your son is participating in Scouts he is under the direction of youth leaders – not his parent. If he comes to you with a question or concern please tell him to ask his patrol leader or youth leader in charge. If he can’t get an answer speak to the Scoutmaster.

Here’s a PDF file so you can print your own.
