I need to thank scouting.....


Recommended Posts

and all you wonderful volunteers (and professional scouters) for all the work you do!!!!! My son, has just been choosen by the 8th grade faculty as one of ten students showing Outstanding Leadership (2 boys, 8 girls). This has just overwhelmed me because at home, my son is a follower. In fact, i always say i wish he would take the road less traveled, and take a few chances once in a while. As a side note, my son is in Spl. Edn. (except for math and sci.) because he has nystagmus (his eyes never stop moving). So school has not been easy for him.

 

I firmly believe that scouting has helped him develop a sense of self-esteem, and given him a wonderful start to the leadership skills needed for the future. And although i may not notice this on a daily basis, it has apparently shown brightly at school.

 

I know people don't tell you enough how much you are appreciated. Although you may not have helped my son, you are helping someones son, and that means alot!

I have to disagree, my friend. Not all of the credit goes to Sparkie's son. She's a heck of a Scouter (I speak from personal experience) and deserves a lot of credit herself.

 

Not that we as Scouters shouldn't appreciate a good thank you from time to time :)
