Best Practices and Common Challenges PAST CHIEFS SUMMIT Best Practices and Common Challenges NOAC 2012 - TRAINING Order of the Arrow • Boy Scouts of America

PAST CHIEFS SUMMIT Finding an Age-appropriate Role “[T]he biggest challenge I faced with my chairman was letting him do more of the work and not doing it for them. The chairman then either expects that in the future, or becomes apathetic because they have no reason to be proud of being a chairman and no longer wants to do the job. Obviously neither result is good for the chairman and committee.” session title goes here (insert > header and footer)

PAST CHIEFS SUMMIT Making your interest in serving as an adviser known “I did not want to stop being a youth leader. I had a long talk with my lodge adviser just after my 21st birthday. He let me know what my new expectations and boundaries were. He wanted me to stick around as a valuable resource for the lodge officers that came right after me.” session title goes here (insert > header and footer)

PAST CHIEFS SUMMIT Balancing adult responsibilities “At this point I am focusing on other parts of my life and have stepped out of involvement with my home lodge. When I step back into regular lodge involvement...I will evaluate what the needs of the lodge are (through conversation with the Lodge Adviser) and find where one, or some, of those needs fits with my interests and strengths.” session title goes here (insert > header and footer)

PAST CHIEFS SUMMIT Changes in relationships with Scouts and Scouters “As a youth I had many frustrations with the advisers in my lodge being “too hands on”. As an adult now I understand that desire/need much better, but now have an even greater appreciation for the advisers I had that did it very well.” session title goes here (insert > header and footer)

PAST CHIEFS SUMMIT Still treated as a “youth” “In dealing with adults, many of them were accepting and helpful, a few still treated me as a youth and were reluctant to give me a position with much responsibility, or worse still gave responsibility but then didn't give me any room without worrying and letting me do my job.” session title goes here (insert > header and footer)

PAST CHIEFS SUMMIT Redefining success as the empowerment of youth “Thus far, I feel as though my largest success falls in my current role as NOAC adviser given the awesome job Evan has done as the NOAC chairman.” session title goes here (insert > header and footer)

PAST CHIEFS SUMMIT Balancing intervention with allowable mistakes “As a youth I had many frustrations with the advisers in my lodge being “too hands on”. As an adult now I understand that desire/need much better, but now have an even greater appreciation for the advisers I had that did it very well.” session title goes here (insert > header and footer)

PAST CHIEFS SUMMIT Getting involved with a new lodge after moving “Since I've moved, I haven't been able to serve my lodge in person as much as I used to, but during my young adult years in the lodge I served by always being there and serving anywhere I was needed.” NOAC 2012 - TRAINING Order of the Arrow • Boy Scouts of America

PAST CHIEFS SUMMIT ...As I get closer to 30 and further from 21 that dynamic is changing as my familiarity with the current section, region, and national leadership is constantly diminishing and the separation gap of age/place in life/experience is growing.
