So we end this evening by celebrating our Gifts and Talents. But before we go, let us take in this thought…
Today in our country there are over six million boys and adults in Scouting. That's a good thing to know, a good thing to think about when we start wondering about the future. Six million, keeping a promise to "Do My Best," to "Help Other People," and "Respect God and Country." Six million following Baden-Powell's admonition: "Try to leave this world a little better than you found it."
These six million can make the difference in tomorrow. These six million will make a difference in the future of this country and in the future of the world around us.
