I started this post a bunch of times. Like a million times!! I know what I want to say.....I think........I think but I don't know how to put it into a post.
My biggest concern as a leader is someone coming to me later and saying "You should have done this to help me" or "You had no clue what you were doing and that hindered me". I can see clearly that two leaders who served before I did who lost two boys records and they did not achieve Eagle because of it. I hold myself to a much higher standard than I do anyone else. I mean really high almost to a fault. I wish I were perfect.
So, what has been my Scouting legacy?
I am fully trained. I look for further opportunities to be trained. It is only through training that I reach my full potential.
I am training my boys to lead. It is hard at time when they don't show up but I am sure trying to turn the program over to them.
I am leaving a legacy.
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........)
