      This is your chance to make a positive impact. Find a way to be happy that you have an opportunity to make this scouts journey better.  We all know that there are dirtbag units out there. The rest of us have to be the beacon for the scouts that want to actually grow.

      It's definitely an uphill battle with the recent membership decline and abuse scandal. I often question the time I have invested in the program, but my son and his friends still seem to be having fun, so I'll push forward. We're providing a welcoming environment where they can exercise, socialize, and get outside. Some kids really need that.

      Frustrated and Depressed

      You can only do what you can do; by that I mean offer the options and tools and then let them use them.  Eagle is, and should NOT be the goal, but rather self sufficiency and good citizenship.  Having pride in themselves, whether or not the Rank is achieved.  We can never win them all, but if we give up, we will lose them all.  My frustrations are greater now due to my age.  I can no longer just do some things and get others to join.  Other than simple drive in camping, and preferably a good cot, my body rebels.  And while the troop refuses to take me off officially, I am mostly a symbol or something; and I Am Able to do conferences and teach many skills still, though much more slowly.  My greater frustration comes from the poor support from our council and the seeming impediments they put in place under the guise of avoiding "issues".  Just CYA.  And I have been labeled silently as someone to put off and ignore or keep from others, as I might infect them somehow with expectations of doing scouting in its truer sense.  Yet, I will not drop out completely and hope to find a way to encourage other younger leaders to keep the good fight up and stay the course.  And when obvious wins show up, it moves us forward, and it plants that seed in the youth, if we are lucky.

      I don't understand. It appears your troop is a lifeboat for this scout and scouts like him. Our troop averaged one scout transfer per month because of our program reputation. Many were friends of scouts in our troop. Council often referred out-of-state transfers to us . These scouts lack of skills can be challenging, but I always found them and their parents enthusiastic and great supporters for our program.  I'm so thankful for your service.  Barry
