I had a chance to go to Isle Royal National Park during the summer of 2008. My youngest son and I had a few days off and decided we would spend a day touring the island. We boarded the Isle Royale Queen IV, which was a 100-foot long ship that would take us 56 miles across Lake Superior. The trip was supposed to take three and ½ hours, but a storm had blown across the lake the night before our boat ride, and there were still six-foot waves on the big lake. Needless to say, I had never been on ......

(From "Patches and Pins..." by Mike Walton (c) 1994. )When I was growing up in Rose Terrace, just about everyone did car washes to raise money for some organization or another. A car wash was cheap to run....get some detergent, some sponges and old shirts, towels and some dishwashing liquid. And lots of water. Go out someplace hopefully on a sunny, clear day, set up the signage, and you're in business!Not a lot of people spend time like they used to washing their cars. It used to be a Saturday morning or afternoon ritual....but then, that's why we made a ......
(This was originally written as part of my unpublished book "Eagle Feathers" in 2004.) A question posed to me -- surprising because of who asked the question -- made me think a lot about what the public thinks that Scouting is about and what little we've told them recently about what we do.I was standing on a platform at the Crystal City, Virginia stop along the METRO, Washington D.C.'s series of underground trains which run between most of the communities in and around the capital city of our nation. The trains run underground and above-ground as well as they snake their way around ......

When Avery Moore isn’t volunteering as Scoutmaster of Troop 11 in Rocky Mount, N.C., you can find him helping out at a local pediatric burn survivor aftercare program. It was during a virtual meeting for the latter that he discovered a need that could be met by the former. “Since COVID-19 has impacted the globe the way it has, ” Moore says, “the burn units have been bombarded with pediatric burn patients, all of them with a similar story: They were trying to cook when no one was around, and something went horribly wrong.” Then, a debate arose with an ......

With letters of acceptance from six Ivy League schools, several prestigious scholarships and the Eagle Scout Award, you’d think Kyle Lambert would be ready for a well-deserved break. But the Eagle Scout from Troop 144 of Queens, N.Y. (Greater New York Councils), sees all that hard work as the warmup act. After earning his version of the “American dream, ” Kyle wants to help lift up others who are still struggling. Kyle grew up in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and moved to New York in 2017. “As a low-income immigrant living in an underserved community, I faced several adversities that I ......

A couple of years ago, Mitch Lynch, Cubmaster of Pack 2010 in Aldie, Va., sang his version of Irving Berlin’s “Gee, I Wish I Was Back in the Army” at the pack’s blue and gold banquet. He got the idea while planning the banquet’s program over Christmastime. “The song really came together after watching Bing Crosby and Danny Kay sing the original song in White Christmas too many times, ” Lynch says. “It humorously compares enlisted and civilian life, and I thought it would be funny to preview to our Arrow of Light Scouts just how easy they have it ......
