This one's pretty straightforward. I'd like you to be as specific as possible.

Thanks

My 2011 Scouting Resolutions: 

As Cubmaster I resolve to:

  • cram as much fun as I possibly can into every Pack meeting
  • have at least one skit or song in each Pack meeting
  • support the Den Leaders with better organized information and more timely communication
  • double the number of service projects we do as a pack

As the Parent of a Cub Scout I resolve to:

  • spend the time in his den meetings working with him and not get caught up in "helping" run the meeting
  • work with his Den Leader to make an exciting year of outings and event we haven't done before.
  • go to Day Camp and Resident Camp with him.  

As the Parent of a Daisy Scout I resolve to

  • show her that her Troop has as much fun as she has seen at her brother's Cub Scout meetings
  • learn more about how Girl Scout programs work
  • take the entire troop on a hike
  • not eat all the cookies I buy

As the Spouse of a Daisy Troop Leader I resolve to:

  • Help out with Troop meetings as often as needed
  • prepare a Leave No Trace/Geocaching outing for the Troop

As a Scouter I resolve to:

  • attend a Wood Badge course and keep most of my ticket items related to the Pack.
  • complete 100 Days of Scouting (http://100daysofscouting.blogspot.com/), starting on Feb. 8th
  • find a way to help within my District
  • attend the Strictly for Cubmasters  course at Philmont Training Center and bring back at least three ideas I can implement in the Pack before the end of the year. 

There.  I think that covers all my scouting related resolutions. Laugh

Well, a month ago I would have said my resolution is to find someone to take over my pack positions before we move into boy scouting (my son's a WebII, probably going to cross over in March).

  • Pack Secretary
  • Pack Newsletter Editor
  • Pack Summertime Chair
  • Pack Scoutmanage assistant / calendar keeper-upper

I think I've got someone for one of these.  But, now, our pack is also down a committee chair, popcorn chair, and camping chair.  So my new resolution is to help the pack have a functioning committee by the time we cross over.  I had a meeting with our ADC last week (our UC also stepped down last month).

Grow the Troop – and grow… and grow…
Find an ASM at least half as committed as I am :)
Graduate from Webelos to Boy Scout for my PTC comment status ;)

@Shawn: 

Yell I will go with you when you Paintball. We can drink then as we throw knives into logs that are in the fire. No Scouts….
