As the parent of two Eagle Scouts, I know of no other organization that does a better job preparing our children for life. Scouting provides the tools, resources and posive atmposhere so that our youth may grow in character, self-reliance, responsibility and leadership. I believe Scouting profoundly shapes the thoughts, values, ideas and aspirations of our children. Scouting also delivers to our communities the next generation of outstanding citizens and great leaders.
