Tonight was the first time since April I wasn\u2019t in charge of our Troop. Our Assistant Cub Leader has now officially taken over as Scout Leader. The Assistant Scout Leader and I dropped a very subtle hint to him about taking over as SL at an Exec meeting back in October and he warmed to the idea and agreed!<\/p>\n

\"new\"<\/p>\n

Now obviously, he\u2019s come up with some new ideas and does things slightly differently from how I would do them. It\u2019s also different from how the previous SL did things, but that\u2019s good. Change is good. Even tonight when it was mainly a games night, just to get the Scouts back into Scouting gently after the holidays, he came up with a couple of ideas that I would never have thought of!<\/p>\n

I hate to say this, but the whole atmosphere was different tonight as our most \u2018challenging\u2019 Scout wasn\u2019t there. We understand he\u2019s left to join the Air Cadets and we\u2019ve all said that we hope that it is the making of him. They are a lot more strict with discipline than Scouts and that is to be expected in an organisation with very strong links to the military. I feel sad that we weren\u2019t able to help him calm down and become a better person (a horrible phrase I know but I can\u2019t think of a better way of putting it!), especially as he was always very keen to do all the activities. However, I wish him good luck and hope he enjoys his time in the Cadets.<\/p>\n

The Troop has a new (and better) Leader (I\u2019m the first to admit I\u2019m not the greatest SL), it\u2019s a new year and it\u2019s a new start for the Troop. I\u2019m looking forward to seeing what\u2019s in store and I\u2019m sure the Scouts are going to have a great year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
