Hi James,

Your concern, in today's world, is unfortunate, but valid. It might
seem to
many people 'unususal' for a single, young man to be interested in
working
with a group of boys.

However your interest is commendible. There are many jobs which need
to be done in the pack. There are also many which do not involve direct

interaction with the boys, which should solve your problem. Talk to the

Packmaster or Chartered Org Rep. I'm certain that they could use
another
warm body on the Committee, or as an Assistant Packmaster.

Good luck to you.

as well as Boy Scouts. Considering I'm 21 and single and don't have any
children, I was wondering if people would worry about me helping out a
pack. I mean, with all the instances and reports of boys being molested,
I don't want anyone to think I'm one of those types of people.
If it's not looked highly upon, I don't mind waiting until I have a son
of my own to (hopefully) become interested in Scouting. =)

Thanks in advance,
