Vision and Leadership Plan

At Wood Badge, we learned that a vision is a picture of what success looks like.  We also learned about the stages of team development.  When I attended Wood Badge, our pack was newly reorganized, so we were in the Forming stage.  We were not working very effectively together, but I knew we could do better.  One of my ticket items was to plan and give a short presentation in our Pack Planning Meeting, in which I explained the stages of team development and offered a proposed vision statement and leadership plan.  The meeting went well, and after good discussion, the vision and plan were accepted for the pack.  I also proposed that we follow up each month with a Start, Stop, Continue assessment each month to make sure we are staying on track with where we want to be.  We have done the assessments each month, and I believe having a common vision and plan, as well as regular evaluation, has helped us have a much better Cub Scout program.

Here is our vision and plan:

Pack 789 Vision and Leadership Plan

Vision:
Every Scout will keep his baptismal covenants and serve others.  Every Scout will be prepared to receive the Aaronic Priesthood and will be confident and capable of exercising the priesthood.



Leadership Plan
To prepare each Scout to do these things, we, as leaders, will:
·         Encourage and help each Scout have meaningful experiences as he works through Scouting achievements and advancements. 
·         Give each Scout opportunities for leadership and growth. 
·         Train and trust each Scout to fulfill meaningful assignments. 
·         Focus on the Faith in God program. 
·         Provide a consistent program for Scouts from beginning to end. 
·         Lead by example in regards to uniforms and values. 
·         Encourage Scouts to build relationships with other Scouts, as well as with their parents and leaders. 
·         Work towards developing within each Scout habits and attitudes of leadership and citizenship.
