DAL_TX_SCOUT

Thanks, some good advice. Definitely not worried about being on the other side of the aisle/separating from the scouts. I'm 26 years old, not saying that's old just a pretty big age difference and was an active ASM for about a year and wasn't an issue. When I was at camp worked as a director and managed staff and program area. I worried most about perception and it seems that is something that will be common no matter what I decide to do and will be important to establish the why of what I'm doing.

I'd think this is a pretty straight forward audit...look at the expenditures for anything irregular. Identify with bank whom can write checks/visa/etc. Examine deposits for the expected $$$ from dues, camping, etc. Unless this is one of those 200 person troops shouldn't be rocket science.

So some quick background. I grew up in scouts going to Philmont, Boundary Waters, etc. Got my eagle when I was 15 and worked at a camp in Missouri through about age 21. Since then graduated college and working in Dallas in a good job and miss the "service" aspect and working with youth I had in scouting. I'd like to get involved again, could even go back to my old troop, but I wondered what the general feel is of those in scouting about leaders in their late 20's with no kids in the program? My troop growing up would have a leader with no kids, even our scoutmaster, but they were always older guys in their late 30's and 40's or much older in their 60's with no kids in the house so a little different. If I didn't end up going back to scouting think I would probably volunteer with another organization like Big Brothers. Any thoughts?
