Lol, a fire hose indeed! Yes, I agree I was very enthusiastic when I got back. And I have settled down and kept WB talk to a minimum. However, I still have to deal with a Scout leader who believes that my goals are "self serving". I'm fine with someone not liking me.

I am currently working my tickets. I have 2 approved and I'm close to turning in my 3rd. My question is, has anyone come back from Woodbadge and had to deal with a sudden lack of support? I have to disclose that I am new to Scouting. I signed up for Woodbadge not knowing anything about Old Woodbadge vs. new, working tickets, earning beeds, ect. My thinking was if I'm going to do this Scouting thing I'm going to need all the training I can get. So I went. And I came back ready to change the world! lol! Wood badge, for me, was life changing.
