Scouting, when done right, can consume a lot of time. The full package of scouting training can take a couple of weeks. And you need to get that training, for your and the kids’ safety.

One thing that I remember from my time as an assistant scoutmaster was a YM/scout leader training where they said that LDS scout troops had at least 2x more accidents during activities as non LDS troops. The church chalked it up to untrained, inexperienced, leaders. “The Three T’s” was the theme: Training, Tenure, and Testimony. With the first 2 emphasised.

If you’re not feeling up to it, don’t commit to it.
