The District Training Chairman, a member of the District Committee, was the individual responsible for the training of both scout and adult leaders. The responsibility came easy for me as I had been in scouting for ten years. I had no distractions that the youth have today. There were no home video games or computers (my first was purchased in 1979 - a TRS80). I'm sure I would have stayed in scouting if it weren't for my work in Vallejo, a lengthy commute which resulted in a move from San Francisco. My only reward for performing in this totally volunteer position were the compliments I would get from my students. They would get the satisfaction in knowing they earned the training knot.
