There was no scouting in my area when I was a boy. I started in scouting when my son was a cub. He got his Eagle. I have been scoutmaster, OA chapter advisor, Vigil member of OA, District award of merit, founder's award, Silver Beaver, St. George Emblem, camping chairman, etc.
Scouting is a great thing for a boy (or for an adult).
