My last campout (#115) as scoutmaster. I will miss this group of boys. 2 life scouts, 2 star scouts, 1 First Class and a non member that came with us on this campout.
Yes, I can still rappel after all these years.
Okay, maybe I should have been roped in but I had to prove that I could still do it. :-) It wasn't that steep.
It is a very empty feeling right now to know that a very involved period of my life is ending. However, as you know in the church it doesn't take long to get busy again. I have been asked to serve as the 1st counselor in the Young Men's presidency so for all these boys they will be back with me in less than a year. I guess I return to where I started in this ward almost 12 years ago and that is back with the teachers but this time I will be their priesthood advisor and assistant varsity scout coach rather than their varsity scout coach. I will look forward to some fun times ahead working with this group of young men. I know that 14 and 15 year olds face many challenges and the transition period from Deacon to Priest is one that is critical. I look forward to helping this age group realize their full potential. I am ready for the challenge.
I love all of you and wish to thank my dear sweet wife for 9 very supportive years and I know that her heart will also feel an empty spot for these many wonderful experiences that we have enjoyed. I could never have done the things I have done in scouting without her and only ask for her continued support as we move it up an age group.
