The end of my Cub Scout trail is, oddly, in sight for me. Every event this year will be a little more special, as I spend my last year with the Pack and as Cubmaster. Just this last month I celebrated my last Cub Scout graduation, although I didn't really think about it at the time.
Looking back, are there things I wished I'd done differently? Sure...Would I trade the experiences I've shared with so many scouts, leaders, and parents? Not on your life!
I'm looking forward to the events we have planned for this summer, starting a new year in August, and treasuring each week.
What will the pack look like when I've moved on, after six years as Cubmaster? It'll look great!! The pack is not "mine." I have always felt a Pack is so much more than one leader. While I may have influenced some small part of the path we've followed, it has been the scouts, parents, and leaders that have shaped this group. No one leader is absolutely vital to a pack. We're all important. My moving forward is just an opportunity for fresh, new ideas that will lead this pack into its next level of excellence!
I'm both excited and saddened. But, I know the pack will continue to grow, will continue to set the example for other packs, and will continue to have FUN!
I'm not singing my swan song yet, and no fat lady has jumped up to take over the pack meetings...we still have the coming year!!
See you throughout the summer!!
