Having 2.nd thoughts, or maybe thinking again. Just a different angle.

Well, it's monday again. Time for another meeting for RR Ålesund. That is if anyone bothers to show up. Last meeting was cancelled due to lack of participants. We still have unfinnished buisness with the Norwegian Register, and need to resolve these before we can officially start this organization.

It's dawned on me that there are practiaclly just 5 people who still live here who actually have been a scout or guide before. And that if we are to have meetings with more than (maybe not eaven) 3 persons, we have to do heavy recrooting. This is hard because, as it is, we are not officially up and running yet, and without the proper paperwork, they really don't know what they are joining.

And now, with maybe 5 of us, all working and most got GF or BF at home, and maybe other things to occupy our time, we should be lucky to have more than 2 on any meeting untill recruting starts.

As I understand, there may be some of the good old guys and girls that wants to participate, allthough they have no chance at attending mettings. We have planned that they can join in on any trip we arrange, if they just pay the Norwegian YMCA fee. The rest will have to pay a little on top of that one aswell. That is for equipent and lease of... we don't really know, but it will be nice to have something in backhand if there is a problem sometime. (And there usually is.)

I understand that I can't do this by myself. Or, rather: I can, but then I need to do everything myself. Because I don't really know if I can trust my brothers in arms to do things that is neccesery to be done to the agreed time. If I delegate tasks, I need them done. Otherwise I'd rather do them myself and not worry about if they are beeing done or not.

As you might read this, I may come across as a bit negative. And I am. About certain things, at least.

Things I am wery happy about is that I've convinced my darling sister to come to the meeting today. Some of the guys need to know it's not a club for boys.

I really, really wish my good friend Vegard Glimsjø was here, in him I have trust to the bone if I ask him anything. Maybe becasue he is edging to the world of adulthood :) He is also passionate about the scouts, and we would have things done. He could hold me in the ear if I didn't do the things I am supposed to.
