Enjoyed the article about Bou Scouting. With all the grief they endure from the ACLU, such positive articles are great. My father and my husband were Boy Scout leaders. Pur oldest son was a Cub Scout, moved up to Boy Scouts, achieving Order of the Arrow and Eagle Scout. While working for Eagle, he broke his Troop record for badges, with 51. He put off his Eagle Scout until almost 18 years in order to accomplish this. He now in the military and has held scouting postions at every assignment. his oldest son recieved Arrow of Light in Cub Scouts, Order of the Arrow and Eagle Scout, he has also recieved the Vigile honor. In July he will be going to England for the World Jamboree of Boy Scouting. His younger brother has just made Arrow of Light and will move up to Boy Scouts in the Fall. I have another son who made it up to Life Scout but his troop leadership changed and he lost interest and did not finish getting an Eagle. He has a 9 year old in Cub Scouting and is aiming for Arrow of Light. So you can see we have strong feelings about Scouting and the positive effectives it has on our young men and boys. I was sorry that you had to include Michael Moore's name to the list, since he stands for everything scouting is not.
