russdwright Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Hello there! My name is Russell Wright. I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma (Indian Nations Council) and have been a lifelong resident of Oklahoma. I earned my Eagle Scout in 1992 and I am hoping that I can get involved in Scouting again in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIscouter Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Gee, Russ, if you are an old scout, I guess I am a really old scout! Pull up a log and have some fun!(This message has been edited by NIscouter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubmaster Mike Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Why are you waiting to get involved again? When I aged out and left for college I figured that I would wait until after I had kids to get involved again. 10 years later, a Silver Beaver I met on a jobsite convinced me to call my local council and get involved as a volunteer. I did and spent several years as Assistant Scoutmaster for a local troop prior to my son being born. It was a great experience. Don't miss out! Joining our virtual campfire is a good first step.

russdwright Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 Well, I may not be as old as some of you, but I am definitely pretty far removed from involvement in Scouts in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russdwright Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 Why am I waiting? Good question ... Well, I am still currently in school (working on my MBA) and I have a wife that thinks I spread myself too thin as it is I have contacted my local council and awaiting word on possibly getting involved as a Commissioner. If that doesn't pan out, then I will start hunting down troops in my council that I may be interested in joining as a volunteer or even an ASM. BTW, anyone know where you can find uniforms in "Big & Tall" sizes cheap (used uniforms, etc.)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docjwt Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Hello Russell, Another newbie to the forums here and a fellow Eagle Scout Alumni from the Indian Nations Council (Eagle Awarded 1982 Troop 36). I was a Unit Commissioner there for a couple of years prior to moving out to Utah. GREAT bunch of people to work with there I think you'll enjoy being back in the program.

russdwright Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 Unfortunately, the wife has put her foot down ... for now. With a baby on the way and me working on my MBA, I guess she wants me at home as much as possible (understandable). I will look into starting after my MBA is done in June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
