Scouting For Food

I wanted to take a minute in these difficult times and share with you an experience that my Cub Scouting unit shared this past weekend, and I was truly humbled. It is my understanding that the scout units in Southern Maryland collected more then 25,000 POUNDS of Food for local food banks over the weekend! Thats right over the weekend! These young scouts went through their local neighborhoods and collected canned goods for local food banks and the giving people gave 25,000 pounds.

I have always been a supporter of the local scouting program, but It really occured to me last night how truly life changing the program was to me, and I would like to share that with you.

When I was a child my Father was in the Army. My mother was actually our Den Mother. My Father when he was in town was our Cubmaster! It was one of the proudest things at that time of my life. It is funny how the littlest things affect our life in a positive manner. Today I am the Cubmaster of my son's Cub Scout Pack, and I believe that Scouting brings something to a young man that he will carry for the rest of his life. If you have sons or daughters, you should truly consider getting them involved in a scouting program. This world needs more good people, and I believe that scouting is the key to growing the seeds of good people.
