Hello everyone. New guy here. I'm a 28 year old Eagle Scout who just relocated to Charlotte, NC, have been out of scouting for about 10 years and am looking to get back involved as an adult. Being out of the loop so long, not really sure how to make it happen. Served two years as camp staff in Missouri, earned my Eagle Scout in 1998, and wasn't very active after I turned 18 due to joining the military and Uncle Sam moved me around quite a bit. Now I'm in the Reserves full time and will be in Charlotte indefinitely.
Anyone here in a troop in Charlotte that is fairly active? I remember being a scout, even in my mid teens and there were very few "adult leaders" in their late 20s but the few we had really made a difference. I firmly believe in the BSA program for the development of young men and think its time for me to step up and contribute to today's youth.
Any help on how to get started and joining the RIGHT troop? I was in a few as a youngin and I know they all have different "problems" (ie adults on power trips, lack of motivation to do anything but meetings, etc). I'd like to be involved in an active troop that pushes more than merit badges and troop politics. Thanks so much!
