Boy Scout Troop 14

How To Run a Reflection

Who runs the reflection?

For troop activities the SPL or ASPL in charge of the activity runs the reflection. For patrol activities, the Patrol Leader runs the reflection.

How often do we have reflections?

After every major activity.

How is it done?

It is a good idea to sit down with the members at the end of an activity and take a few minutes to talk about recent events. You can learn a great deal about the success of an event and about your leadership role by reflecting on some or all of the following questions:

• In what ways did things go as our group expected? In what ways did they not?

• How good was our planning and preparation? What could we do better next time?

• What did members like best about this experience? What would they change next time?

• What did we learn during this event?

• As we prepare for future events, what are some of the ways we can make our patrol or troop even better?
