We answered a version of this earlier, but it is worth going deeper, because teaching responsibility usually fails for a few specific, repeatable reasons.
Sometimes a boy has never been given a task that is fully his, so he has never felt ownership over anything.
Sometimes responsibility has only ever been connected to punishment in his mind, so he associates it with fear, not pride.
“Give him something fully his, let the natural consequence happen if he drops it, and be there afterward not to punish, but to help him understand.”
Sometimes an adult keeps stepping in to fix things before the boy feels the natural result of not following through.
And sometimes a boy simply has not been shown, step by step, what “doing it well” actually looks like, so he is guessing at a standard nobody explained.
The fix usually involves all of these at once, give him something fully his, let the natural consequence happen if he drops it, and be there afterward not to punish, but to help him understand what happened and why.
At camp, this happens constantly, in small tasks and big ones, until it becomes a habit rather than a lesson he was told once.
