I know I have been really negative lately but my own unit, while not perfect, is doing extremely well.
Starting January 30th, they will be focusing a while month on Duty to God. While this is a spiritual venture, it is also a Scouting venture and I am glad that these boys see the importance of their spiritual side in Scouting. My boy leaders again while not perfect are the best I have ever had. They still don't plan as well as I wish but I am extremely glad I have them. They think outside the box and try to include everyone. I also have had a ton of fun as a leader lately.
I was discussing in a correlation meeting this week about how I am now officially glad that my unit is limited to less than 10 boys. That way I can get to know them!!
Next year I will be receiving some special needs boys. I am a bit scared and intimidated. I already know them as one of their Church advisers but don't directly teach them. I see myself struggling with them but I am up for it.
I also super excited about my current Wood Badge course as three out of seven participants have completed their tickets. And I am super excited to be participating in a new course!!
The ramblings of an ex BSA Varsity Team Coach on Scouting and specifically the Varsity program. My thoughts, ideas and concerns are in no way connected or shared in any form or fashion by the Boy Scouts of America or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) who volutold me to serve as a Varsity Coach. Some personal rambling too........... (I am an Assistant Scoutmaster now that the Varsity Program has been murdered........)
