5.0) IST DO & DONTa.)DONT

SMOKING and ALCOHOL are prohoited during the Jamboree. Don't over-do it and make yourself into a time bomb. If you are hot, tired,

hungry and thirsty get cool, rested, fed, and hydrated. I tend to be cranky if Idon't look after myself. Years of observation prove that many of my fellow leadersmay share the same problem.

Never berate, criticize, argue with or yell at a staff member, youth leader orfellow adult leader in the presence of scouts; no matter how much you think theydeserve it. A quiet talk at an appropriate distance will usually solve the problem

(and the problem may turn out to be yours).

Don't "pull rank". You are a International Service Team, not a general or anadmiral, so there really isn't any rank to pull is there? Most people instantlyrespect your position- just don't make a big deal out of it. Don't ask for specialprivileges or try to impress staff members with your self importance.

If you see a participant really bad at an activity, encourage them. Don't make funof them. I know it may be tempting to do, but don't do it. Because if you do, youmay have an upset participant on your hands, and that's never fun to deal with.

Don't be afraid to ask questions. If you're in a difficult situation, don't be afraidto contact your communication department.

Have patience! These kids aren't stupid. They know that if they want something,all they have to do is keep annoying you until they get it. Most of the time, thefirst time you tell a kid to do something, odds are they won't do it. Don't get madat them though. Remember that they're a lot younger than you. Ask them again.

Try not to raise your voice too much.

Don't raise your voice. Only do this in an emergency. This may scare yourcampers, or if you do this a lot they may just ignore it.

Campers hear everything, and I mean everything. So if you want to tell yourfriend something, first think about if you want a little kid to hear it. The bad partabout kids hearing what you say is that they never remember it accurately.

They'll tell their parents and often exaggerate what you said (which usually has a

negative effect) .

Leave all negativity at home! If you come in to camp with a bad mood, this willhurt your campers' days. Even if you had a horrible night, come in with a smile. Ifyou feel you might feel below par, talk to your division head or a superior prior tocamp.

Respect your participants and colleague and they'll respect you. They'll behavebetter if you respect them. Just because you're in charge doesn't mean you can

yell at them and boss them around.

b.)DO Join in the program and encourage the participants to do so: even if the program,

in your humble opinion, isn't all that good. A lively audience does more than

anything to enliven and energize a performer. Do participate. Participation is key.The more you participate, the friendlier you become with the participants. Even ifit means running around a playground, do it. If they ask you to join in, you

should join in. Don't think about how stupid you'll look. Do it for the kids, and notfor yourself.

Participate in ceremonies, traditions and practices of the camp even if they areunfamiliar to you. Camps and camp staffs are proud of their traditions; imposingyour way of doing things on their program is a rude as imposing your way ofdoing things in someone else's home.

Carefully monitor any inter-troop rivalries that may develop. Scout aged boys arehyper-competitive and often need to be reminded about fairness, courtesy andsportsmanship. Set the tone of gentlemanly competition and require it of yourscouts.

Give your youth leaders allthe responsibility for success. See that theyunderstand what needs to be done, how and why and then observe from a greatdistance. Check in with them every evening, ask lots of questions and put youroar in only when it is asked or it is matter of safety.

Be proud of your scouts, encourage them, congratulate them, admire them. Don'ttry to be one of them, you aren't and never will be. When the rare opportunity to

join in at the boy level presents itself jump in, but don't interfere with their fun.

Be as patient with your own shortcomings as those of your scouts. Don't sacrificethe perfectly good on the altar of perfection.
