The Scouting Stuff My Mom Kept — When I was young I was in the Cub Scouts, started as a Bobcat in Cub Scout and made it to the highest rank, Eagle in the Boy Scouts. The Scouting Stuff My Mom Kept I think in Cub Scouts I was in Pack 13, I can’t remember … but as a Boy Scout I was in Troop 26 that I do remember. The joys of getting older … forgetting stuff. My mom passed away recently and going through her stuff we found she kept some of the Scouting stuff too.

Fanning the Flames of Faith: Lessons from an Eagle Scout and 2 Timothy 1
Fanning the Flames of Faith: Lessons from an Eagle Scout and 2 Timothy 1 – In the world of scouting, the image of an Eagle Scout skillfully fanning the flames of a campfire is a familiar one. It symbolizes both the ability to ignite a fire and the responsibility to nurture and sustain it. As Christians, we can draw valuable lessons from this imagery. In the second letter of Timothy, the Apostle Paul provides guidance on how to fan the flames of our faith. Just as an Eagle Scout tends to a campfire, we are called to nurture and protect the fire of our faith, allowing it to grow brighter and stronger. Let’s explore two powerful lessons from 2 Timothy 1 that can inspire us to fan the flames of our faith. #bgbg2

The Scout Law – A Christian Point of View
The Scout Law – A Christian Point of View – While I was in the scouts my post frequent position was Chaplain’s Aide. I was the one that prepared sermons when we went camping. We said a prayer at every meeting. Our troop always did the Lord’s Prayer together. I want to share with you the 12 points of the Scout Law and how each point can related to being a Christian. Even as Christians we can live by these 12 points of the Scout Law. It doesn’t matter if you are a Scout or not. #ScoutLaw #BoyScouts

Girls in the Boy Scouts of America?
Girls in the Boy Scouts of America? Maybe they just need to change it to Scouts of America? Maybe combine elements from both the Girl Scouts of American and the Boy Scouts of America. That would change the rank and badge systems and more. But the Scouting movement has always been gender specific … Boy Scouts – Boy & Girl Scouts – Girl!
