We are honored and humbled to watch youth reach new heights - on Capitol Hill and beyond. Thank you to our Scouting advocates in D.C. and across America. Thank you to our CEO and Chief Scout Executive, Roger Krone, for his leadership and initiative. #ScoutingAmerica #ScoutsBSA #EagleScouts #CubScouts #SeaScouts #VenturingBSA #Scouting #Scouts #YouthLeadership #CharacterDevelopment
Last week, Scouting America went to Washington with a vision and message for what the future of leadership can look like. ? At Camp Capitol Hill, Scouts demonstrated robotics, camping skills and Pinewood Derby racing — activities that build hands-on skills while fostering the creativity, confidence and characteristics that can lead to a lifetime of success. I was again reminded of how much scouting experiences like these lay the groundwork for the teamwork, adaptability and resilience qualities that make a strong leader at our Eagles on the Hill reception later that evening. In honoring the Eagle Scouts, alumni and supporters like GT Thompson (R-PA), Sanford Bishop (D-GA), and our incoming National Chair-elect Ricky Mason, who continue to demonstrate strong leadership and commitment to service in their communities, these moments celebrate Scouting’s lifelong impact and timeless foundation of values that prepare our young people for the future. I am grateful to the Congressional Scouting Caucus, our hosts and Hill champions, and every donor, volunteer and staff member who made this day possible. ? If you want to invest in the kind of leadership America needs, we’re ready to show you the way forward. ? #ScoutingAmerica #Leadership
