ozemu 10 Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Tonight I got a pack of small easter eggs with this note: "Emu, Happy Easter. Thanks for the time and effort you put into Scouts. Cameron loves Scouts and that's because of your input." It's not why I do the job but the gesture warms the heart. Over the years I've recieved a personalised coffee mug, cards, an engraved pen, a few homemade certificates and a model pioneering bridge. Each full of meaning and proudly cared for. Nearing 15 years now and I could have recieved some official commendations but much prefer these occasional and unsolicited memento's. Just thought I'd share a happy moment. The scouting organisation can be frustrating but some parents and Scouts really appreciatte your efforts. Wish I could share the eggs with you all. Link to post Share on other sites

frankj 10 Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 My favorite memento was a hand written letter on plain notebook paper from a Mom, when her son crossed over from Webelos to Scouts. Link to post Share on other sites
leonus 10 Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I've only been a leader for about two years now and thus far the greatest thank you that i've recieved is one my boys shaking my hand and telling me about how great it is that i spend time with them to teach them 'cool stuff'. Like the other person above me said, it's the little things that matter. Link to post Share on other sites
