We have a powerful potential in out youth, and we must have the courage to change old ideas and practices so that we may direct their power toward good ends.

The Scoutmaster teaches boys to play the game by doing so himself.

I'd like to have stayed in the Scouts beyond the age of 12.

I was in the Boy Scouts for about four years until my troop disbanded. It is really one of the best activities youths can get involved in and nearly every scout I have known has been a class act due to the discipline the Scouts have instilled in them.

We've been using 'rejuvenate,' meaning to restore youth, to make young again, as a verb for at least 200 years.

At Girl Scouts, we create leaders.

If we want boys to succeed, we need to bring them back to education by making education relevant to them and bring in more service learning and vocational education.

As a young boy, scouting gave me a confidence and camaraderie that is hard to find in modern life.
