Thanks to all!!! I really appreciate you taking time to make such indepth postings. There is some real "meat" in those words. I will need to take my time going through to pull out and digest the many good points. I have always looked for people who had previous experiance in any new endevor I faced. It looks like I came to the right place to do just that. Thanks again to each one of you. Tom

I am developing my ticket for Wood Badge and am two weeks into my new position as District Chairman. I am a 25+ year Scouter and would have no problem with a traditional goal of making or fixing something that would have a specific and measurable impact on our youth. Unfortunately looking at the tasks of the District Chairman as outlined in the new Highlights for the District Chairman pamphlet that came with the job it appears to be a job about relationships with people. Diverse people in and outside of Scouting, volunteers and professional Scouters alike. All very worthy and challenging responsibilities, but not real detail specific (herding cats). I am looking for others Scouters that may have had experiences as District Chairman that may help me gain some insight and assist in focusing my direction as I develop my S.M.A.R.T. ticket. Thanks Tom
