Do you have a great family story about how your grandparents or parents influenced you? Do you have any stories about scouting for you, your son, your husband, or father — and how the values learned in scouting have influenced your life or the life of someone you love?
Here is an amazing project which we all can support. If you believe in integrity, honesty, service, kindness, being prepared, and all of the other values which the scouting program espouses, please check out this new program and pass on the word to the scouts you know. There is so much out there competing for the attention of young men, this is a great alternative to keep them focusing on the power of positive influence they can have in the world.
My brother Mark Allen and Alan Osmond are working to protect, preserve, and pass traditional scouting values to the next generation. Many great people have participated including Stephen Covey, Elder David E. Sorensen, Michael Leavitt, Michael Ballam, Fraser Bullock, Mike Neider of the LDS General Young Men’s Presidency, and many more.
Check out their new website and please feel free to add your comments and suggestions. Also, if you have a great story about scouting and how scout values have changed your life or the life of someone you know — please submit it. They are also looking for stories about how a parent or grandparent has influenced your life.
The more stories they can include about heritage, honoring your family name, having a honorable legacy — the better search engine rankings they can get and the more people can find their site.
This is such a great project and one we should support.
This is such a neat project. My brother is a boy scout and I know it’s really helped him become the person he is today. He went to the Scouting Jamboree this summer and came home a different person. He really came to appreciate our freedoms so much more and he matured in so many ways.
