2nd 100 Days of Scouting: Day 77

Music Merit Badge

Sometimes opportunity knocks and goes away.

That's what I had thought happened recently to a position someone asked me about: District Commissioner.

Well, today it showed signs of life again...we'll see.  I tweeted my fellow Scouters for their advice or opinions about what a DC should do, what makes a good one, what makes a bad one, and for their experiences.

Today I:

• Spend most of the day reading the materials on Scouting.org about being a District Commissioner.  Wow.
• Followed up with our SPL about the camporee fees due this Wednesday.
• Fixed the throttle on the lawn mower.  How is that related to Scouting?  It's how my Life earns his money to fund Scouting all year!
• Took our Committee Chair to lunch.

Do you have a district or council job in Scouting in addition to the work you do in your unit?  How does it work for you?

100 Days of Scouting: Day 77

Today I:

Caught up on reading Scouting blogs.

Pulled together details for pack meeting awards--pack meeting is this week!  Already!

Played "mailman" at home--delivering multiple copies of Boy's Life and Scouting magazine!  We get enough of them, that BSA bundles them all together in plastic!

As the 100 Days of Scouting begins to down-shift towards the finish, I'm doing a lot of thinking about how I can continue to make a difference.  What are your thoughts?
