We've been having a little e-mail discussion amongst the NAUMS Board (National Association of United Methodist Scouters). I attached some things I wrote for training purposes back in '95-'96, when I was Annual Conference Coordinator of CYSA/Scouting Ministries.
I said that what I wrote back then held up pretty well. In fact, the most dated thing about the material was the obvious enthusiasm and sense that we were going to accomplish great things I was possessed of back then. Then I gave an electronic sigh and added, "We declared war on mediocrity, and mediocrity won."
