Scouts: Bon voyage

Well Guys

What a wonderful way to end 5 ½ years with NTSS as a Leader (4 ½ as troop Leader). Huge thanks for the goodies – my liver and waist line will suffer, which is why I intend to share most with you over the next few months.

Look guys – its been a ball. Watching kids grow into young adults with super brains and leadership skills attached to great personalities, senses of humour  and friends (some more attached than others). Watching kids that are scared of a glass of water learn to conquer water and become proficient boaties and owners of great skills. Is neat to think that the Leaders and I have helped shape these great kids.

Parents – what a great bunch. The time you put into your kids results in great rewards; the time you put into other peoples kids brings even greater rewards with lifetime friendships developing.

As Phil says, I won’t be lost. Coaching sailing is my great love, so might do a little of that for Scouts, will do a huge amount of that for Paremata; I will be at the regattas because the boys and my extended yachty kids will all be venturers; I will be assisting to get all to the Jamboree and I might become a bossy Committee member. And then there is skiing!!

It is not goodbye, simply see you same place, same time but not as the boss.

So from this dolphin leaving Planet NTSS, “So long, and thanks for all the fish”.
