Keep Scouting Strong

March 16th, 2013

As an Eagle Scout and current Cub Den Leader I know how important Scouting is to America’s youth. Not only that, for over 100 years, Scouting has existed as an International organization that instils values that cut across cultures. Over time Scouting has succumbed to special interests from all sides. In some cases it has made the program stronger and in others it has weakened it or resulted in unintended consequences such as cutting off access to the very youth it is designed for. While social norms may change in this country, Scouting will roll with the punches. Through it all, one thing should never change and that is Scouting’s commitment to develop young people into great citizens, leaders and lovers of the outdoors.

Invest In Our Nation’s Future and Keep Scouting Strong.

Gunfighter Moment – Larry Vickers

March 16th, 2013

‘When you get the chance learn how to operate different small arms; everyone in a serious line of work should know how to run common weapons like the AK, FAL, G3, and M14. In addition understand how to handle pistols like the TT 33, P38, CZ 75, Makarov, and others. Just simply knowing how to unload and clear these weapons or even disable them is a skill set that may come in handy in some remote corner of the world, or even the USA.’
