Pointers for Leading A Reflection

1. Avoid dominating the conversation; use non-directive questions that
   encourage sharing.
   
2. Be positive - reflection can be enlightening and, very often, fun.
   
3. Remind everyone that Scouting is a "put down free zone" - build others
   up, don't put them down.
   
4. Encourage determining the value of the experience, focusing on positives
   first.
   
5. Generalize - connect between the specifics of the experience and their
   broader application "How can we use this in our troop?"
   
6. Steer toward goal setting based on what was learned.
