In retrospect, he says he learned one thing: If he ever joins the armed forces, he'll insist on being part of the smallest possible team, or kill himself. :-) You're beginning to make me regret volunteering to teach the FF'ing merit badge this year! Memorize this, for when the military wannabees wander over to turn your activity into a committe-based affair: "Would you like an up-close demonstration of what fish see when we're throwing streamers at them?" My nearly twenty years in the military have been dedicated to keeping morons out of my cockpit so that, along with your guidance should work well! Allen, where the hell do these people come from??? :-) Don't un-volunteer for teaching the course. I agree with others here who've said that any scout troop is only as good as the people who share their time. Maybe in the future, even if some kids don't enjoy it, at least a few will remember learning to fish from some guy whose name they'll forget by that time. I'm not sure how my son and I ran into 3 bad troops in a row. Perhaps we were already predisposed to NOT fit into organizations whose chief purpose is cluster-fu**s. My son's the same way, and until recently, I worried that he wouldn't be able to work well in teams. He was great at baseball, but decided he liked skateboarding better. Some people view that as a solitary sport, but he always does it with a friend or two, and they end up helping each other learn new things. When school projects involve just one or two in a group, he does really well. Bigger than that and he has no patience for the nonsense. Hmmm...I just realized something. His attitude comes from fishing. He's learned you should spend more time fishing and less time cutting bait. |
