So what if dogs can’t say the Scout slogan? That hasn’t stopped Ranger from doing his Good Turn daily. For the past few years, Ranger has been helping his best friend, Ethan Warren, cope with the sometimes-violent “triggers” Ethan experiences as part of his Asperger’s syndrome. The pup’s presence has been especially helpful at Ethan’s boards of review in Scouts BSA Troop 426 of Manchester, Mich., part of the Southern Shores Field Service Council. Normally, these boards might be a time when the stress of answering adults’ questions would be too intense for Ethan. But not with Ranger there. “Ranger ......

Two years ago we had a kind of wild cubmaster who recruited like crazy and did a lot of stuff, taking us from 40 to 60 members.
