Congratulations, Spartan. I'm not so sure how the scouting organization works in the U.S., but if you have regional councils and service scouters available, they are usually fine sources of experience, wisdom and support. You are not alone, you are surrounded by a fine community of scouters here and at home. I am a Cub Scout and Beaver leader and have been in exactly the same position you are in! Remember to draw on the resources of your leaders. Best of luck!
