Recently the Scout leaders and our families had a dinner date. We ate and watched Follow Me Boys. It was a great reminder what Scouting is about - the boys. It doesn't matter what my frustration level is due to leaders. I need to focus on the boys more. To be honest, I will never get the parade that Lem got. Ever. It would be great though if I had parents and Church leaders telling me I did a good job when I am not telling them I want to be done with Scouting. I think I am a pretty humble guy but apparently not enough. I like to know I am doing a good job. (My promise is that if I ever serve in a leadership position at Church, I will show my gratitude for my youth leaders/ministers/Scout leaders.)
As I sat at Wood Badge during a presentation about change, I again realized how much I hate change. I am not ready for it and I sure as heck don't like it when it happens. Especially when I feel like I am told I am "such a good leader" that having a new leader won't effect me. That is not true at all! I need help just like the next guy no matter how good (or bad) I am. And I need to be more willing to live through change. I am so for thinking outside the box yet I don't understand why I hate change so much.
From this I have decided to do a 360 Assessment. I am sure feedback will be limited but my hope is that maybe I can gain something from it. I know I don't know it all. Maybe this will give me some insight.
