Scout taught me a lot like Leadership skills, Life Skills and much more. But most important Scouting taught me God & Country. Note God is first there. God should always be first. Even the 12th point of the Scout Law is A Scout is Reverent. Even the Scout Oath has To God and My Country. I even earned my God and Country award in Scouts as a youth. I even served as Chaplain’s Aid in my troop.

God: The Basis Behind Scouting

Scouting also has roots with belief in God. I am sad to see that it seems just like our country; we are taking God out of Scouting too and everywhere else, allowing atheists and even homosexuals as well. If I am not mistaking, part of the Scout Oath is Morally Straight. We as a world are becoming tolerated on stuff when we shouldn’t be.

It is hard to believe that I became an Eagle Scout, the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America 19 years ago. (July 3, 1994). July 3, 1994 was my Board of Review and I passed, my Eagle Scout plaque says July 5, 1994. I held my Eagle Scout Ceremony September 11, 1994 at Alice Bell Baptist Church. That was the church I was going to as a kid.
