Hello all
I have seen some very interesting New Year Messages come out in the last couple of days so I thought I would share them all with you.
Dan’s Blog - Amidst the bustle of festive cheer, I found several moments this Christmas to quietly ponder the future. Something about this time of year heightens our sense of the preciousness of time. Approaching the New Year, the memories of this one are concertinaed so the best and worst bits stand out more prominently. The meaning of those individual experiences and their sum are also somehow sharper in retrospect. For me, this time of year sensitizes the subtler emotions and sensations and I feel especially self aware. In these moments we can grow the most because we see ourselves from another perspective. It is perhaps why we can so relate to the Ghosts of Christmas conjured by Dickens in his novel “A Christmas Carol”. The possibilities of the future are more obvious and real when imagined alongside the lessons of our past and present.

Bobwhite Blather - As the calendar clicks over another year, many of us take time to look back at where we’ve been in the last twelve months and look ahead to the next twelve. It’s also a good time to assess what your troop or pack has accomplished, how it’s benefited the boys in your unit, and what changes you can make or actions you can take to improve things.

2.33 Gallons - I sit here, on my couch, thinking about what 2011 has meant to me. Most years come and go and I struggle to remember what happened other than the occasional big event. 2011 seemed different. I went into this year with the mindset that I was going to take everything I could from the time I had, I was going to do things different, I was going to do things better. Looking back at it, I feel pretty good about what I’ve done.

Scouter Adam’s Blog - There is a lot of Scouters within the Facebook, Twitterverse & G+ world asking about goals and what was 2011 like. I love reading them. I hope that all their plans and wishes come to being and they feel a sense of accomplishment. The Internet is a wonderful place. I have met a lot of like minded people whom I would love to share a campfire and coffee with hopefuly soon.

All the above posts has messages that resonated with me and hopefully with you too.
Welcome to 2012 I hope this will be a great scouting year
