"It's just an hour a week." That's what alot of people think when they first decide to become a scout leader. It can be only an hour a week, but not if you care for the boys. When I first started as a leader, that was my feeling. Then I started to get to know the boys in my charge, and all of that changed. Now, 7 years later, I find myself spending more and more of my time trying to give these boys a "quality program". Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. I love how I am able to help these guys, and watch them grow into awesome young men. It is hard for me to comprehend how anyone could ever feel different. I find myself drawn more and more towards a more active leadership role at a district and council level. Would that be such a bad thing? That is something I am gonna have to ponder for a while.
Until next time

About Me
- NC Scout
- I hate these kind of things, but here goes: I am a proud father of a future Eagle Scout. I am also a Scouter myself. I intend to be a Scouter until the day I die. I am very pleased and proud to say that Scouting is a very important part of my life, and my families. This program means so much more to me now as a parent than it ever meant to me as a youth. I wish I had stayed with the program as a youth longer than I did, but that cannot be changed now. I do try my level best to provide the best program that I can for the boys that are in my charge.
