Last summer, I got a handwritten thank you card from a 12 year old Scout. He thanked me for taking a week off of work to be at summer camp with him and the rest of the boys in the Troop. It's the little things, right?

Got a nice note after camp a couple of weeks ago for our camp SPL thanking me for helping him with leadership lessons at camp.  Also his mom wrote a note and thanked me for still being involved and being a leader even though my son aged out a few years ago

We get the handshakes and thank yous in the parking lot, but the actual note or e-mail means a great deal

I think I've posted this recently, but my most recent Scouters paycheck was after NYLT, the SPL of our course gave me a hug and told me (paraphrasing) "I'm glad you were here, You need to come back next year, and you'll make a great Scoutmaster someday." 

Pretty high praise from a Scout I've only known for 5 months or so. 

I do really like emails or letters as @Jameson76 said. Helps my terrible memory hold on to things.
