Which ones aren't especially burdensome?

I currently hold the positions of Lodge Adviser and Vice President of Program. There are days that I spend 4-5 hours on Scouting business. It could be meetings, emails, dealing with patch companies, reviewing the latest National revisions to whatever they decide needed a tweak this week, etc. If I didn't work from home, I would be overburdened. Since I work from home, I can manage the commitment. I am fortunate that my associate lodge advisers, camping committee chairman, training chairman and activities chairman are all very capable people.
Now if I can get the VOA straightened out.... -

Anyone who chooses to let themselves be overworked.
I know I've been overworked at times. Looking back on it, I can identify how I made it my own choice to do it, or how I failed to delegate items that might have helped relieve it.
My sense is that the DEs put in a lot of hours. I think that some view it as being overworked.Comment
