Truescout

I have been a leader for more than 35 years around the world, while in the Army and now after I retired. One thing I learned is never turn down a volunteer. I have found some of the volunteers so willing to get the proper training that I felt good after leaving my Scout Troops overseas. I have even had a couple of men (former Scouts) approach me and thank me for finding someone to keep them going (both became Eagles). I am 61 now and still the Scoutmaster for my most recent Troop going on 10 years. I actually retired after a previous Troop of 8 years. Something was missing..it was me..and it keeps me going. Difference was that I started another Troop. Keeping up with the boys keeps me young (I think). My point..ask him what he want to accomplish. Get him to Woodbadge. Best place for him to figure out what he really wants to do.
