The adult leader took one of the members aside and asked him how his ankle was. Oh, I'm sure you did. The group's use of resources, mostly their own fortitude and ability to pull together, were subsequently tested. Getting to Know Individual Resources Knowing and Using Group Resources is usually introduced as the group is forming, as it is a means to the end of creating group morale and spirit. The patrol, after being given a name, is typically asked more than once if they have a yell, song, and flag.
Resources are also, by our general definition, all inclusive.
On a practical level, there are two types of resources that a leader needs to pay attention to, human and physical resources. The human spirit's capacity for achievement and innovation is enormous. Yet few if any schools teach what it takes to be successful. The greatest limit on the ability to think in new ways, to draw on resources within ourselves, is often our own thinking. So it becomes true that getting out of our own way is the greatest challenge we face in our entire lives.
