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
Sweet memories
My father, a 37-year IBM engineer and wood-working enthusiast, built the first pinewood derby track with an electric finish line! We never debated who won with that track! Rumor is, it may be stuffed away in someone's shed in Upstate NY now. I'm trying to track it down (pun TOTALLY intended ?? ) as well as pictures of it.
An important event to demonstrate the importance of scouting -- that is available for everyone to join and enjoy the exciting adventures, and grow into community leaders
Well done!
Scouting provides participants with the skills they need to succeed in all aspects of life.
Pinewood Derby I Love the first car young people craft out of wood. Keep that forever, Scouting
There are no losers in the Pinewood Derby. So happy to see the tradition continue
Roger Krone sometime around 1999 & before 9/11, I recruited your son and you into Tiger Cubs BSA in mid-STL County! After the School Night, I routinely went through applications and I noticed on your Tiger Cub Partner application, Roger Krone, Eagle Scout, CFO, Boeing, I was excited. And subsequently, likely with the late Sandy McDonnell’s help, recruited you into our St Louis FOS team! Do you recall? Impact each one of us has on the Scouting movement is only limited by our own perception! I’m retired from Scouting America now and currently impacting innovation at Missouri University of Science and Technology cheerfully known as S&T! Congratulations, and thank you for your leadership as Chief Scout Executive!
