Being with 90,000+ scouts and visitors the final night was something we will never forget. Scouting is very much like anything else in life... you get out of it, what you put into it.

I did cub scouts, but got kind of bored with it. I went back in around 7th grade in Boy Scouts and came away with my eagle! I think you can learn so much about a lot of things in Boy Scouts. It teaches you a lot of life lessons and skills that you may have never known. I worked at the camps, volunteered to work the JLT courses (Foxfire in the BRMC). Wow, it's amazing to think back on it now... My son will definitely be in the scouts I loved scouting! I did cub scouts, but got kind of bored with it.

Way to "man up" Tyro, way to stick to your principles and justify your response. Scouting has been an intricate part of my life since I was six and a Tiger Cub. I earned my Eagle at 18, went on to college, worked at Scout camp for one year and met my wife there, (she only dated Eagle Scouts), we started a Venturing Crew while in college then when graduated I was employed by the BSA as a District Executive, couple of years later my wife joined me as a DE as well. Scouting is a big part of my family and who I am. The traditional values and charater building that goes on has shaped many a youth and will continue to do so for another 100 years. Thank you for writing such a fine article.

Once I settle down and have a real job, I plan to become involved with the local council because I love the outdoors and the positive message the Scouts have for today's youth. Also, the Knights of Columbus councils are often affiliated with scouts, and I was glad that our council recently re-approved funding for the local cub scout troop.
