Choosing t
for your tro
Many organizations that want
scouting, have trouble securing the
right person to be the leader. How
an organization's values are
reflected in a troop largely depends on
the Scoutmaster. With the
support of the organization, the
Scouting Committee and other
volunteers, the Scoutmaster carries
out the troop program through
direct contact with the Scouts.?
There are many qualified
prospects for the position of
Scoutmaster. The Boy Scout of
America has a selection process
that will assure that the most
qualified person is selected. The
vital role of shaping the lives of
youth demands nothing less!
Since the Scoutmaster will be
such a vital factor in the success of
the troop, the organization, working
through the Scouting Committee,
should play a prominent role in the
selection.
There are six sure steps in
Securing A Scoutmaster for you
organization. The first and probably
most important step, is for the
organization head to appoint a task
force or Scouting Committee and
schedule a meeting with them.
At this meeting the Scouting
Close-Up
with all black images," Clark says.
"They just didn't want it to
look like blacks owned it," he says.
While Safe Bus, Inc. made
history as the only privately owned
African-American bus company in
the United States, Clark appeared
on the front cover of a 1968 edition
of Jet magazine for the charter
service he was doing. ? .
, After the mass transit shift,
time schedules changed for bus
drivers, but Clark, 65, and
Theodore, 63, have basical 1 y
always maintained the^ame routed
"Safe didn't care how you ran
the buses as long as their buses
were in operations, " Theodore
says.
"I could work all day one day
and Clark could work all day one
day but now they got certain times
that you have to work," he said.
Bus drivers must now sign up
for their bus routes according to a
~ bed sheet which list vacant bus
rounds.
"If you don't have enough

someone will bump you," Clark
says.
"I'm one and he's two, the
oldest employees here/' he says.
While driving the same route
daily, Clark and Theodore say that
they have shared similar
experiences.
"I've seen kids bom, raised and
the whole bit," Dark says.
He says that being a bus driver
is fun but kind of bectic at theTifst
of the month.
"Everybody's got a little
. money and some of us can't stand
to have a penny in our pocket," he
says.
Theodore agrees.
"It's a funny like thing," he
! says, "you nave all rich people
; from the first of the month to the
1 eighth and then you start handling
' normal people."
The brothers say that they

i problems but learn from the
problems as well.

Committee should list and appraise
all prospects for Scoutmaster, keep
in mind that the Scoutmasters can
be from the outside. Prospects
should be rated by the committee in

least four prospects.
At this point, three people on
the Scouting Committee should set
up an appointment with the number
one prospect, and call upon him, as
a committee. Ask the prospect to
have his family present so they can
also help him make his decision.
It is extremely important that
the committee, not an individual,
lisk Ihe prospect to serve as
Scoutmaster. The existence of a
committee, assures the Scoutmaster
that he will not be taking'on this'
huge task~alone. Remember,

solves your problem, " Theodore
says.
Theodore says that bus driving
is a unique occupation.
"Driving a bus is an experience
you won 't get in any college or
book," Clark, says. "You go to
college Tor four years and get a
degree and you go four more years
and get another degree. I've beerfaT^
this for some 40 years," he says.
The brothers say that they have
encountered humorous situations as
a bus driver.
^Old^peopteiell it just like it
is," Clark says.
"You get a lot of questions
asked like, Are you going to the
hospital?' I say I ain't going to no
hospital, I ain't sick, and then they
ask, 'Is the bus going?' I then say
the bus ain't sick, jokingly," Clark
says. j,
Theodore says he remembers
an incident when an intoxicated
man got on the bus and offered his
seat to a woman who was standing
and said, "Women want jobs like
men but when they stand up I
usually don't give them my seat, I
let them stand ud like men." he

says.
While Clark says that a good
bus driver needs to have good
judgment, common sense and
patience, they both agree that
patience is a strong necessity.
'You have to have patience and
do unto others as you'd have them
to do unto you," Clark says.
"Some God in your heart helps'
too," he says.
Theodore says,"Yes you have
to have patience if you have any
nerves. The only way they can't get
on them is if you don't have any,"
he says.
If they have any pet peeves as
a bus driver they both say that they
are few.
"A bus breaking down with a
load of people would be my
peeve," Theodore says.
Clark says, "Having a bus with
no air conditioner out there in 95
degree heat is when I wish they'd
make the manager drive."
While they both run the same

task will take the responsibility of
the task, and the support that he
will receive from the committee. If
the prospect cannot give an
immediate reply, a follow-up
contact should be made in 24
nours. it tne prospect declines, the
process should be repeated with the
next candidate on the list.
Once a candidate accepts the
position, he should be publicly
welcomed by the organization, the
troop committee and the boys.
The final step of the process is
to contact a BSA representative,
who will follow-up and make an
appointment to give the the new
Scoutmaster "Fast Start Training".

Scoutmaster, if all these steps are

go ahead and give it a try, it really
