 * Leadership **
 * means responsibility. It's adventure and often fun, but it always means responsibility. The leader is the guy the others look to to get the job done. So don't think your job as a troop leader or a staff member will be just an honor. It's more than that. It means that the other Scouts expect you to take the responsibility of getting the job done. If you lead, they will do the job. If you don't, they may expect you to do the job all by yourself. **
 * seven   ﻿ ﻿ characteristics for good leader: **
 * 1- Trustworthy.  A true leader cannot exist if he or she does not get to win the trust of others. Integrity and honesty are character traits that make that person remarkable and, in their absence, people would not feel they must follow the leader. A good leader practices what he or she preaches earning the right to lead others and have responsibility for them. Trustworthiness is the source of the real authority, based on the trust of other ** **people**.

Also, a real leader should not be scared to perform hard work, offering a good example to his or her workers. **
