I made eagle back around the time your father did. My kids, on the other hand, chose sports, which I found provided a similar experience in many ways, especially in the areas of leadership and responsibility.
Different paths lead to similar goals. Remember this.

Mike: sounds like you might still be smarting from your kids' choice of sports over scouting. Different paths can indeed lead to similar ends. It's too bad they don't have time for it all.

Vincent,
I was actually thinking how sports delivered much the same benefit to my kids as scouting did to me. It's nice to know that society provides well in a variety of ways.
