Musing and thoughts

 I've been thinking about leaving. I have no kids in the game.... haven't since 2020.

I kinda feel bad, as I'm the only trained volunteer in our area for the scope, and the only nationally certified trainer for canoes.

But council decided they didn't need us at camps on the weekends. Then they say, "Come and help with this program or that, but you can't stay here before or after; ya gotta go home". Having a place at stay at camp for the weekend is why I help with other programs. 

I was already there as a camp host/coach (whatever name they want to call us), so helping run a program for a troop was easy, and whoever I was camping with would cover camp issues if needed.

I've been volunteering for almost 25 years; maybe it is time to give it up.
