SeattlePioneer 144 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 << We've had some success by first recruiting Spanish-speaking Adult Leaders in units where we want to recruit Hispanic families. It's a work in progress.>> After 3 years of trying, I found that this is likely the key to success as well. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a bilingual English-Spanish person to take charge of communicating with new Hispanic families. I may ask the Parish Knights of Columbus organization if they have someone who can help us get started with that. Link to post Share on other sites
packsaddle 753 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 2015 might be my last year of involvement. It's been a long time and I'm tired and lately I just want to play with my grandchildren. But no one knows what the future might bring. I'll just roll with it whatever IT is.

MattR 2660 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Whenever I start getting down about scouts I get away from the adults and spend more time with the boys. Cheers me right up. It's what they do best. Link to post Share on other sites
LeCastor 641 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Whenever I start getting down about scouts I get away from the adults and spend more time with the boys. Cheers me right up. It's what they do best. I have to be honest. Sometimes this forum gets me down and I have to leave for a few days. We tend to blow our own bugles a little too much. But as far as the future it concerned, I wrote a letter to all members of my Troop explaining that after four years I will be stepping down as Scoutmaster at the end of this year. My projects will then be to help build the Troop as I serve in the role of unit membership chair on the committee and help build the district as I serve as vice-chair of membership on the district committee. But my main source of excitement now is the Venturing Crew I organized and helped form in January. Four years is a long time to be Scoutmaster and I am starting to get burned out. I know it's time to move on... Link to post Share on other sites
JasonG172 244 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 ^ if it isn't Fun then we tend to not want to do it! I know you have problems with the current crop of kids you have not wanting to be outdoors and I understand that completely. Have fun with the Venturing Crew and I hope you spend a many a weekends viewing the Stars! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
