Boy Scout in Troop 1, Pomona, CA. It was the oldest tropp west of the Mississippi River...started one year after Scouting started in the USA. What a thrill
Years later, I was a Scoutmaster for an American troop in Germany...what a privilege to be associated with that organization.
One of my customers told me he was a Scout Master in his son's troop and his take on Scouting has stayed with me for years. He said Scouts were where average kids could excel.
That says it all for me.
