Boy Scouts! What do you love about Scouting? Is it the camp outs? Fire building and outdoor skills? First Aid? Community? Each and every one of us gets something out of Scouting. We’re each better people for having experienced what Scouting has to offer.
If we get so much out of Scouts, what are we giving back to the program? If you’re not an Eagle Scout then let’s start there. You life purpose is to reach Eagle Scout, to continue the history of excellence, and to pass it on to your family someday down the road. But what if you already are an Eagle Scout? Did you reach that high point and then give up? The journey BEGINS once you reach Eagle Scout: you begin mentoring younger Scouts so they can advance more quickly, you become a Sensei. And this is a mission that never ends.
Reaching Eagle Scout is even more important than getting a college degree. It shows a higher level of commitment, loyalty, goal setting and planning. Your Eagle Scout also represents a broader base of knowledge than you’ll ever get with a Bachelors Degree. With an ability to communicate your skills to potential employers and highlight your significant achievement, your Eagle Scout becomes an investment that returns high dividends year after year…and all you have to do is COMMIT! Set the goal, achieve it through planning, and ask for help.
All the success and money in the world is YOURS if you do this. Eagle Scout is a WAY OF LIFE.
See you at the top!
-Sensei Brian
