Eamonn 61 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 If you were not so involved with Scouting, what would you do with the time you now put in? Would you serve another youth organization? Or do you have a pet project or hobby that you would start or do? Eamonn Link to post Share on other sites
purcelce 11 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I think I would volunteer my services to my church youth groups. Link to post Share on other sites

Eagle1973 10 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Maybe I'm too good a Boy Scout ... I am also a 4H leader in two clubs (horses and shooting education) and volunteer at a theraputic horse riding facility. I did not go up for re-election in my local horse show assoc. board of directors because of the time factor. Oops, I forgot, just getting started in Venture Crew....(This message has been edited by Eagle1973) Link to post Share on other sites
EagleInKY 14 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 For the past 3 1/2 years I've also served as my church's children's minister. With my kids moving into the teen years, and the time requirements of my job, family and scouts, I stepped down a few months ago. I'd love to get involved with the teen ministry, if I had the time. Nice question Eamonn, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I would have been involved with NOLS or some other outdoor program Did you notice the three answers thus far all have Eagle in the poster's name? Is that what is called leaving a legacy ? Link to post Share on other sites

Laurie 10 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I honestly don't know, but since the age of 10 I have volunteered in one capacity or another, usually with kids. Our boys joined Scouts just after our daughter was born, and I had no choice but to cut way back on time spent volunteering at their school just as I became part of the unit leadership. I look forward to going back to school as a chaperone and volunteer aide in a couple of years, and our littlest wants to be a Boy Scout but will settle for Girl Scouts , so I'll most likely become a Girl Scout leader in time too.

scoutingagain 20 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Don't know for sure. I would be involved with my sons in some way. I'm involved with the HS Band parents group and the HS Theatre support group although not as visibly or at the same level as in scouts. I might consider getting involved with a youth sailing group. There's one in the next town. And I'd probably not spend as much time on this forum. SA Hey, have a good Thanksgiving all, regardless of race, creed, lack of creed, position in scouting, tweaker or non-tweaker. Have a great holiday and stay safe. SA Link to post Share on other sites
LovetoCamp 9 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I'd like to think that without scouting I'd still be trying my darndest to get my own children out on the lake sailing, camping, backpacking, shooting trap and smallbore, and wrestling. Instead of Tigers and Sea Scouts I'd help with Sunday School and wrestling. Link to post Share on other sites
FScouter 24 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 I'd spend more time with the Grange youth program, the Town Council, and my genealogy research. Link to post Share on other sites
SR540Beaver 116 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Before Scouting it was baseball, basketball and Tae Kwon Do. If we were not in Scouting, I'd be involved in whatever my son's next adventure was........or get reaquainted with my nicely broken in, extra large leather recliner. Link to post Share on other sites
