Alternative Approach • May be appropriate for ships using a six-month change of watch • Review the job description of every member of the quarterdeck • Boatswain, boatswain's mates, yeoman, purser, storekeeper, specialists, crew chiefs, assistan crew chiefs • Know what everyone else does to better cooperate to lead the ship

  6. Make a Calender • Plan two months beyond your term of office • Bring in a poster calendar with council / regional events marked on it • Decide which ones the ship will do • Fill in all the activities around that • Sailing • Service projects • Fun events • At least one activity every month

  7. Publish the Calendar • Write it all down • Publish it where Scouts, parents and leaders can see it • Web site • Facebook, email • Hard copy if needed • Update it when it changes! (It will.)

  9. Major Ship Event • Defined by the ship • Normally nominated by BMP, confirmed by boatswain & skipper

  10. Planning • Who, what, why, when, where, how? • Who – all Sea Scouts, normally • What – Council event? Weekend sail? Etc.? • Why – What is expected? What do we want? • Where – Council event is settled. Ship may have different places for different programs. Details? • When – Fri-Sun? Day Sail? Long Sail? Details. • How – Which boats? What equipment? Drivers and cars? More details!

  11. Directing • Clear your plan with the skipper and boatswain • Determine if you are “up front” directing or directing through others • Know the schedule • Try to keep the schedule, but flexible if needed • Supervise critical operations • Delegate where appropriate • Use authority when needed. Ask BN / SK help. • Give credit where due, and thanks to helpers

  12. Evaluating • Make your own evaluation first • Use your ship's evaluation method • If none, “Start, Stop, Continue” is good • Quiet place and time • Input from junior to senior to lessen “bandwagon” effect • First “Start,” then “Stop,” then “Continue” • No criticism of individuals • Discuss with skipper and boatswain
