With these words Chuck Grant reflects on his adventure as a new Scoutmaster:
Â
If I had a nickel for every time I thought, said or heard the phrase "so far so good" over the past few months I'd be a rich man!
Â
I'd served as an assistant Scoutmaster for a few years when our Scoutmaster announced a job relocation that required his family to move. Mark Hacker, our committee chair, took me aside one evening and asked me if I would consider being the new Scoutmaster.
Â
I was stunned. I love Scouting, it's great fun. But, really?Â
Â
My wife Anne and I discussed the commitments involved, she appreciated what Scouts did for our son and believes in the program. She agreed I ought to give it a try. I called Mark and told him I would take the job in the fall. I had three months to prepare, so I started reading everything I could find about Scouting.Â
Â
I felt a combination of excitement and dread. It was like stepping off the edge and jumping into a volcano; no turning back now!
