A Scoutmaster is a mentor to the youth leaders. He presents them with ideas and information and provides support. One of the most difficult things a Scoutmaster has to do is to allow the youth to lead, even when he can see failure looming on the horizon. A Scoutmaster might say things like “Have you considered …?” and “What do you thing might happen if …?”, but the youth don’t always take the hint. The rule of thumb I’ve heard is, “If its not illegal, immoral, or dangerous, then let them try it their way.” Failure is a good teacher and most youth will rebound from it with a positive attitude.A Scoutmaster has Scoutmaster conferences with troop members. He shows an interest in them and talks to them about what is happening in their lives. He uses the Methods of Scouting to work toward achieving the Aims of Scouting for the youth. (See Methods and Aims of Scouting)The Scoutmaster works with the Troop Committee to make sure the youth have the resources they need for a strong youth program. A good working relationship with the committee is essential.

Auxiliary organizations provide a wide range of activities on the CSU campuses. Recognizing the need for an extensive network of services to complement the core academic mission, the CSU has adopted a framework whereby some essential services may be provided by separate non-profit organizations. In addition, because auxiliary organizations are private and not subject to the restrictions on state general funds, they permit more flexible use of available resources. These non-profit organizations exist as separate legal entities under the parameters outlined in the Educational Code. The Board of Trustees of the CSU and campus presidents have broad policy oversight responsibility over auxiliary organizations, most of which are incorporated.
