Frequently Asked Questions

100 Scouts

Of any 100 boys who become scouts, it must be confessed that thirty will drop out in their first year. Perhaps this may be regarded as a failure, but in later life all of these will remember that they had been scouts and will speak well of the program.

 

Of the one hundred, only rarely will one ever appear before a juvenile court judge. Twelve of the one hundred will be from families that belong to no church. Through Scouting, these twelve and many of their families will continue to be brought into contact with a church that will be active all their lives. Six of the one hundred will become pastors.

 

Each of the one hundred will learn something from Scouting. Almost all will develop hobbies that will add interest throughout the rest of their lives. Approximately one-half will serve in the military, and in varying degrees, profit from their scout training. At least one will use it to save another person's life and many will credit it with saving their own.

 

Four of the one hundred will achieve Eagle rank. And at least one will say he valued his Eagle above his college degree. Many will find their future vocation through badge work and Scouting contacts. Seventeen of the one hundred boys will later become scout leaders and will give leadership to thousands of additional boys.

 

Only one in four boys in America will become scouts, but it is interesting to note that of the leaders of this nation in business, religion and politics, three out of four were Scouts.

 

This story will never end. Like the "golden pebble" of service dropped into the human sea, it will continue to radiate in ever widening circles, influencing the characters of men down through unending time.
