Since the Boy Scouts of America began in 1910, many young men have recited the Scout Oath and followed its law to make good decisions throughout their lives. Scouting is still going strong a century later and continues to teach important values that are sometimes lacking in today’s society. Bill Hertel, Troop 634 scoutmaster, has been associated with the organization since 1998 when one of his boys became a member. Since then, four of his five sons have been or are now in the troop. It currently has about 30 members. “What we try to teach them is how to make ethical decisions .... (and) model the Scout law and oath, which we repeat at every meeting .... They are constantly quizzed on points of the law.” These “timeless values” are the reasons why he believes the Boy Scouts have been around for so long. “They’ll help you live a good and happy life.” When dealing with disciplinary measures, Hertel.

CR North graduate Alan Carey received the Hornaday Award for performing environmentally conscious work. Fewer than 1,200 have been presented with the award since 1914. Alan Carey has crossed into a very rare place of honor among Eagle Scouts. His planning and construction of a pedestrian bridge in Newtown Grant, a Newtown Township housing development, helped earn him a prestigious Boy Scouts of America award described as "an Olympic Medal bestowed by the Earth." Since 1914, fewer than 1,200 Hornaday Medals have been awarded to Scouts across the country. That exclusive club now includes Carey, 18, who graduated from Council Rock High School North last year. You have to consider that the rare rank of Eagle Scout only has about 2 million members," he said. "The trail leading to becoming an Eagle is fairly steep, but the trail to the Hornaday - that climb is essentially vertical."

Marshall University head football coach Doc Holliday took some time off the field Thursday to help with boys of a younger age group. Holliday was a guest speaker at the Major Gift's Luncheon for the Boy Scouts of America. The luncheon gives the community an opportunity to learn about Boy Scout groups in the area and financial support. Holliday said there are similarities in boy scouts and sports. "The only discipline kids are getting today are either on the athletic field or in the boys scouts or cub scouts," he said. "For the people in this room right here, I'm sure a lot of great parents that's happening, but I bet 80% of the people out there in the country today don't have parents in the home to provide the discipline that the kids need. That being said, thanks for what you do, it's a great cause." More than 6,000 young people participated in scouting last year in the tri-state.

The City of Seattle, Rotary Club of West Seattle, the Boy Scouts of America, and the WSU Extension Master Gardeners are partnering to plant 122 trees along Fauntleroy Avenue in West Seattle on March 27th. The project coincides with the Boy Scouts of America’s tree planting project, titled “Generations Connections,” commemorating 100 years of Scouting in America, as well as the City of Seattle’s 25th year as a “Tree City USA” and Rotary International’s “Rotarians at Work Day.”

Boy Scout Troop # 912 gave a special presentation to their community Thursday night at the township’s council meeting. After leading the flag salute, the scouts proceeded to educate their audience on the history of Boy Scouting. "The time - August 1, 1907. The place, Brownsea Island, England," began senior patrol leader Christopher DiPietro. DiPietro told a story of 22 boys who gathered for a week long test for a new youth movement that would eventually lead to an enrollment of almost 28 million in almost every country in the world. The idea for scouting started in 1903, as Lieutenant General Baden Powell had recently returned home as a hero for defending the small town of Mafeking against the Boers.

The mayor and council presented the Little Falls Boy Scouts with a proclamation honoring them for their service to the township and the Scouts presented the mayor and council with a flag. They do a lot of work and the community is much better served for it," said Mayor Michael DeFrancisci. He added that scouting experiences lays a foundation for the Scouts for the rest of their lives. A proclamation praised the Little Falls Scouts and the Boy Scouts of America in general for nurturing and honoring more than two million boys since its inception on Feb. 8, 1910. It also praises them for instilling into their Scouts leadership character and community service. Council president Joseph Sisco congratulated the Scouts on their proclamation.
