Dear

Scouting works simply but profoundly.

Scouting, sends them out. They are a patrol of eight 12 to 15 year olds. They take only what they can carry on their backs. They pick a camping spot for close by fishing and good hiking. They make camp, gather wood and put up a dining fly. They take care of the needs of the patrol first. They cook, eat and then later on, tell stories and sing a few songs before heading off to their tents.

They start early and end late the next day- hiking, climbing, fishing, studying the plants and various animal markings. These Scouts learn a great deal and go to their sleeping bags that night well fed and a bit more confident. The next day they gave thanks for all the good things life provides. Then these Scouts pitch in to break camp and leave the campsite clean.

Yes, Scouting sends them out, but when they come back they are more confident and sure of themselves and their abilities. They have learned much about being members of a team, helping others and of giving of themselves and caring about our nations’ natural resources. One might say, “…they’re beginning to show a touch of manhood, of…character.”

One day, these Scouts will become adults with all the responsibilities and requirements that come with being citizens of our community. And when their values are tested with life’s tough decisions, you’ll feel good, knowing that the gifts you made to Scouting today were worth every penny.

Sincerely,

Kenneth C. Mehlhorn ((XXXX)) corporate, personal etc.
