We need more Boy Scouts

One of the most rewarding and gratifying duties I have as a state Senator is presenting special state plaques of recognition to young men achieving the honor of Eagle Scout.
I thoroughly enjoy the Eagle Scout ceremonies I attend. They are a wonderful testament to the caliber of fine young people.
The Boy Scouts of America is in need of support. That is why I was so pleased to see Rebecca Hagelin, the author of the new best seller, 30 Ways in 30 Days to Save Your Family, write a column praising this terrific organization. Hagelin writes, in part:
“It's time someone stand up for the young men of this country. What the nation really needs are more Boy Scouts. And I mean that literally. Scouting doesn't just stop with words and pledges, it shows boys how to become men marked by these invaluable traits.”
I agree wholeheartedly with all Hagelin has to say.
