Among my activities was membership in the Boy Scouts; I rose each year through the ranks, eventually achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and undertaking leadership roles in the organization.

I was an Eagle Scout -- I love the Boy Scouts. But on this one they're wrong. I do believe the Boy Scouts of America need to improve their lightning safety.

When I was a boy, there wasn't too many after school activities out there, like the Boy Scouts. Now scouting competes with so many things. When I was really young, the socialization was the biggest thing I learned and later the leadership skills.

The Scouts are a private organization and have every right to set their own membership standards.

Among my friends, I'm not a little Boy Scout, and they love my humor, thank God.

This is a great chance for boys to advance in rank. Most of the local Boy Scout troops are small, and this university gives them a chance to benefit from several adults with varied expertise.
