I miss being a Den Leader...

My Oldest son's old Cub Scout pack had their monthly Pack Mtg. last night, which I attended since I'm the Advancement Chair, and where I had an epiphany...I miss being a Cub Scout Leader! My Oldest has moved up into a Boy Scout Troop in the last year and although I help out sometimes, it is not the same as being a full time Den Leader. Handing out awards last night, I realized I miss the excitement that I used to see on the faces of "my boys" (those that were in my den), when I handed them their awards. I know I am not being fair...all the boys in the Pack should be "my boys" and to some extent they are, but it's not the same and I miss it. I still have another full year and a half before my Youngest becomes a Tiger and I can step back into the roll as Den Leader. I'm really looking forward to it.
