Scouting and Scouters are alive and well in my hometown. We have over 70 scouts and 25 adults camping at least once a month, engaged in tons of activities.
My council and district are equally busy and active. While some nits and individuals struggle, I remain enthusiastic.
As I get older, I have to remind myself more often why I keep the committments I make. I know that in working with the boys I need to keep looking for that spark. It's there, and they share it with us and their fellow scouts. But we sometimes have to look hard for it.
we need to keep looking, it's our renewal of purpose.
I'm not competeing with TV and Sports, and the thousand other things that are presented to young folks. I'm competing with myself to keep my scouting spirit alive.
I hope that you just lost your focus and will soon find it.
Scouting is FUN. Lots of Scouts know it and nothing will interfere with the fun of scouting.
