NESA Welcomes Fossett as New President

The National Eagle Scout Association is

pleased to announce that Steve Fossett,

one the world’s greatest adventurers,

is its new president. A native of

Jackson, Tennessee, Mr. Fossett earned

the Eagle Scout Award in 1957. He is

a Vigil Honor member of the Order

of the Arrow, a recipient of the

Distinguished Eagle Scout Award and

Silver Buffalo Award, a member of the

1910 Society and the Founders Circle,

and a Baden-Powell Fellow of the

World Scout Foundation.

Mr. Fossett is a member of the Boy Scouts of America National

Executive Board and the International, High Adventure, and National

Scouting Museum committees. Previously, he served on the Venturing

and World Scouting committees as well as the board of directors of the

Chicago Area Council.

Since February 2005, Mr. Fossett and his Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer

have set three world aviation records. That month, he flew the first solo,

nonstop, non-refueled airplane flight around the globe. A year later he

broke the record for the longest nonstop flight, covering 25,766 miles

in 76 hours, 45 minutes. Then, in March 2006, he broke the absolute

closed-circuit distance record, circumnavigating the globe in 74 hours,

26 minutes.

Fossett’s new aviation records are just three of the 115 records he’s

set in five different sports, 70 of which remain unbroken. Currently

he holds official world records in five sports. He also holds numerous

sailing records and has completed such endurance sports events as

the Iditarod, the Ironman Triathlon, and the English Channel swim.

Mr. Fossett is president of Larkspur Securities Inc. and a member

of Washington University’s board of regents. He also is member of

the Aéro Club de France, The Explorers Club, National Yacht Club

of Ireland, Académie Nationale de l’Air et de l’Espace, and the

Circumnavigators Club.

President Gerald R. Ford: An Appreciationby Mark Ray


“One of the proudest moments of my life came in the court of honor when I was awarded the Eagle Scout badge. I still have that badge. It is a treasured possession.”

—President Gerald R. Ford

Cub Scouts honor the former president’s memory at the Gerald R. Ford Council service center in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The statue depicts President Ford in his youth as a Scout.

On December 26, 2006, Eagle Scouts everywhere lost one of their own: Gerald R. Ford, America’s first Eagle Scout president. The months that followed the death

of the 38th president have seen a reconsideration of his legacy and a renewal of interest in Scouting’s role in his life.

Scouting was significantly important to President Ford. In the early 1970s, he wrote, “One of the proudest moments of my life came in the court of honor when I was awarded the Eagle Scout badge. I still have that badge. It is a treasured possession.”

Even more treasured were what he called the basic building blocks of leadership that Scouting provides: self-discipline, teamwork, and moral and patriotic values. Ford believed that by instilling those values in millions of young Americans, Scouting could help usher in a new era, “a time in which not only our Republic will progress in peace and freedom, but a time in which the entire world shall be secure, and all its people free.”

Early PromiseOn July 14, 1913, in Omaha, Neb., Gerald R. Ford Jr. began life as Leslie King Jr. After his parents divorced two years later, young Leslie got a new adoptive father, a new name, and a new hometown—Grand Rapids, Mich., where he lived most of his life.

On Dec. 17, 1924, Ford joined Troop 15, chartered to Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church in Grand Rapids. Nearly 60 years later, his Scoutmaster, Chuck Kindel, still remembered administering the Scout Oath to the future president. In an interview for the 1982 booklet “Gerald R. Ford’s Scouting Years,” Kindel (himself an Eagle Scout) said, “I could tell right off that Jerry would become an important person.”

As a Scout, Ford spent several summers on staff at Camp Shawondossee. He was also part of the first Governor’s Honor Guard on Mackinac Island, Michigan’s summer capital, in 1929. (This Mackinac Island tradition continues today; each summer, a group of 50 Scouts and leaders spend a week on the island, where they raise and lower flags and assist tourists.)

Ford became an Eagle Scout in 1927, eventually earning a total of 27 merit badges.

Athletic ProwessScouting was not the only arena in which Ford excelled. Football was another. At South High School in Grand Rapids, Ford helped lead the football team to a state championship. Upon graduation, he enrolled at the University of Michigan, where he lettered in football three years and was named most valuable player during his senior season.

Ford chose law school over a professional football career, which would have earned him just $200 per game (roughly $2,950 in today’s dollars). He received his law degree from Yale University in 1941 and returned to Grand Rapids to begin his career.

A Life of ServiceLess than seven months later, the United States entered World War II. As a Scout remembers his duty to country, Ford quickly enlisted in the U.S. Navy, where he served as a physical training officer and then spent a year and a half aboard the USS Monterey in the Pacific Ocean. He left the Navy in 1946 as a lieutenant commander.

In 1948, Michigan’s Fifth District elected Ford to the U.S. House of Representatives, a position he would hold for 25 years. Along the way, he became chairman of the House Republican Conference and then House minority leader, a position he held for eight years.

Of course, Ford’s lasting legacy was not as a representative but as a United States president. In 1973, President Richard Nixon named Ford to succeed Vice President Spiro Agnew after Agnew resigned. Ten months later, when Nixon himself resigned, Ford became the nation’s 38th president.

Devotion to ScoutingFord showed his devotion to Scouting in ways both large and small. As president, he met with many Scouts and Scouters, including those who made the BSA’s annual Report to the Nation. Perhaps one of his most treasured visitors was Scoutmaster Chuck Kindel, the man who long before had predicted that Ford would “become an important person.”

In 1978, Ford participated in a BSA advertising campaign, donning a Scout uniform and talking about what Scouting meant to him. The uniform he wore was plain, but it could well have been festooned with the many honors he had received, including the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award (1970) and the Silver Buffalo Award (1975).

Even late in his life, Scouting remained close to Ford’s heart. Speaking at his 90th birthday celebration in Grand Rapids, Ford thanked the event’s organizers and then said, “As I sat there waiting to make some comments, I wondered what I was doing 78 years ago. I’ll tell you what I was doing. I was a young Boy Scout in Grand Rapids.”

After enlisting in the U.S. Navy after World War II, Ford entered a lifetime of service to the United States.

Eagle Scouts from the Gerald R. Ford Council give the Scout salute as the hearse carrying the former president passes. More than 400 Eagles, past and present, lined the road to the Ford Library and Museum in a final tribute.

First couple Gerald and Betty Ford greet attendees at the lighting of the national Christmas tree in 1976.

President Ford works at his desk at the White House in 1975.

Until just before his death, Ford’s office continued to send congratulatory letters to new Eagle Scouts across the country. Ford himself wrote personal greetings to new Eagles from his home council.

In a 1987 letter to Eagle Scout Matt Adams, Ford wrote, “Be good to Scouting as an adult because it’s been good to you as a youth.”

Adams got to thank Ford personally for that letter 10 years later, when the Western Michigan Shores Council in Grand Rapids officially became the Gerald R. Ford Council, the only council named for a living BSA member. Adams showed Ford his letter and gave him a business card. It read, “Matt Adams, District Scout Executive.”

Adams, who is now the council’s director of program, later recalled Ford’s response: “Hey, that’s very neat. I’m glad that you can give back to Scouting.”

A Fond FarewellGiven Ford’s lifelong connection with the BSA, it is no surprise that his family asked Boy Scouts to participate in the activities surrounding his funeral. In Washington, D.C., scores of Scouts and Scouters from the National Capital Area Council stood in silent tribute as Ford’s procession paused in front of the National World War II Memorial. Thousands more Scouts lined the streets of Grand Rapids a few days later to honor Ford.

“We had thousands and thousands of kids and parents with flags lining a large chunk of Fulton Avenue,” said Scout Executive Michael D. Sulgrove.

At the request of the Ford family, a special place was reserved for Ford’s fellow

Eagle Scouts. More than 400 of them lined the road leading to the Gerald R. Ford Library and Museum, where the president’s body lay in repose. Ranging in age from 15 to 85, these Eagle Scouts received a special privilege.

“The Eagle Scouts were the first group allowed into the public viewing on Tuesday,” Sulgrove said. “[Officials] actually held the public viewing crowd—which was tens of thousands of people—so that these Eagle Scouts could go through the line first.”

Scouting also played a prominent role in media coverage of Ford’s life and death. Headlines like these were common in newspapers across the country: “Gerald Ford: A Boy Scout President,” “Ford Among Best of the Boy Scouts,” “President Ford Cherished His Role in the Boy Scouts.”

As president, Ford held true to Scouting’s foundations during what may well have been one of the most difficult times in American history. During a 1974 speech, Ford said that criticism had prompted him to go back and review the principles of the Scout Oath and Law.

And then he said this: “If these are not the goals of the people of the United States, what they want their president to live up to, then I must draw this conclusion: Either you have the wrong man or I have the wrong country, and I don’t believe either is so. I happen to believe that the ideals and aspirations of all Americans and all Boy Scouts are one and the same, and I will continue to use those ideals as a guide and as a compass in all my official duties. I think our goal ought to be . . . more Boy Scouts in government, not less.”

As part of its participation in activities surrounding the funeral of the former president, the Gerald R. Ford Council honored its namesake with a memorial wreath. The ribbon across the wreath reads “Eagle Scout.”

During the time it takes to read this sentence, a Top Fuel dragster can reach the finish line. So can a pinewood derby car.

The difference is that dragsters (price: $100,000 and change) travel 300 miles an hour, while pinewood derby cars (price: $3.59 plus labor) go maybe 10 feet per second. The similarity is that Doug Herbert has raced both kinds of car.

Herbert, a 39-year-old Eagle Scout from Lincolnton, N.C., has been driving the Snap-on Tools Top Fuel Dragster for the past 12 years, amassing an impressive racing record. He has nine top-10 finishes, was the first driver to crack the 4.80-second elapsed time barrier, and is the third quickest driver in the history of the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA). Before he moved to that circuit from the smaller International Hot Rod Association, he racked up 20 wins and four IHRA Top Fuel championships.

For the uninitiated, Top Fuel is one of 200 classes recognized by NHRA; others classes include Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Motorcycle. Top Fuel dragsters run on a combination of 85 percent nitromethane and 15 percent methanol. They weigh upwards of 2,225 pounds—including the driver—have a wheelbase of 180 to 300 inches, and sit just 2 inches off the ground.

Herbert admits that he’s done a little better with dragsters than he did as a Cub Scout in the pinewood derby. “I never won. I got second place two years in a row,” he said. “I’ve still got my trophy.”

Scouting might not have taught Herbert much about racing, but it taught him a lot about life when he was growing up in southern California. He credits the program with teaching him the leadership skills that are essential in his role as leader of a racing team and owner of Doug Herbert Performance Center, his mail-order warehouse for racing car parts and equipment.

“The things I’ve learned in Scouts help with the business, they help with the racing team, they help with everything I do,” he said.

Herbert also credits Scouting with landing him one of his first jobs: work-ing at a parts store during high school. When the owner saw “Eagle Scout” on Herbert’s résumé, he said, “You know what? I’d like to have an Eagle Scout work for me. You’re hired.” Although Herbert had little work experience, his Scouting background said a lot about his values, his work ethic, and his ability to learn the ropes quickly.

Herbert got started in racing early. (In fact, both his father and his aunt are in the Drag Racing Hall of Fame.) But he still found time for Scouting. One of his favorite Scouting memories, for example, is of an extended trip into the Sierra Mountains. The troop’s campsite was so remote that it took two days on horse-back just to get there.

Despite juggling his rac-ing, business, and family obligations, Herbert still enjoys Scouting. When his son James joined Troop 313 in Gastonia, N.C., last spring, Herbert immediately signed on as an assistant Scoutmaster. A few months later, father and son attended summer camp together at Camp Bud Schiele in the foothills of western North Carolina.

“The thing I enjoy with James being in Scouts is that it gives him and me a lot of time to hang around together and learn a lot of stuff,” Herbert said. “It brings back a lot of memories for me.”

The Scouts of Troop 313 had no idea what Herbert did for a living; they just knew him as James’ dad. That changed when Herbert made arrangements for the troop to travel to Atlanta and watch him race in the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals.

“I think they were totally amazed; they had no idea,” Herbert said. “I made a lot of new friends with the Boy Scouts. Now all of a sudden they really listen to me a lot.”

Last fall, the Scouts got to listen to Herbert when he served as the troop’s counselor for the Auto Mechanics merit badge. That experience included a Saturday field trip to Herbert’s shop, where the Scouts took a tour and even had the chance to put together a Top Fuel engine. “The boys asked some really good questions about how engines work, and that made me think and remember how much I enjoy working on cars

and especially engines,” Herbert wrote in his blog, or online diary.

Like several other top drivers, Herbert maintains a blog on the NHRA Web site. It focuses mostly on racing results, the ups and downs of his team, and various events involving team sponsor Snap-on Tools. But there are plenty of entries about Scouting as well.

Perhaps in a few years, the blog will report that James Herbert has caught up with his dad in Scouting by

becoming an Eagle Scout. Or maybe it will say he has bested his dad by get-ting to Scouting’s highest rank faster.

After all, James managed to win the pinewood derby two out of three years, while his dad never entered the winner’s circle.

For more than two decades, Alpha Phi Alpha, the nation’s largest intercollegiate African American fraternity, has had a formal alliance with the Boy

Scouts of America. But that alliance was little more than a formality until a couple of years ago, according to APA’s general president, Darryl R. Matthews Sr.

One of Matthews’ key goals is for APA members, many of whom have a Scouting background, to help young men become Eagle Scouts. “These young men need role models who are successful to stand up and say, ‘Hey, listen. This is a worthwhile achievement. This is a worth-while endeavor,’” Matthews said. “They’re not going to get that kind of support, unfortunately, in many areas of their community.”

If Scouts are not reaching Scouting’s highest rank, Matthews believes, the reason rests in part with their communities—including local APA chapters. “If you have a chapter in a city and there’s no one in the city who has become an Eagle Scout in the last two years or the last five years, there are some resources that are not being marshaled or focused toward some young men who are worthy of that certification,” he said.

Matthews wants his members to provide whatever resources—including money and manpower—aspiring Eagle Scouts need. And he wants each of APA’s 350 alumni chapters to produce seven Eagle Scouts a year.

“That’s a lofty goal,” Matthews acknowledged. “I’d be happy to get two. I’d be happy to get one—as long as they understand that zero is not an option.”

To emphasize APA’s alliance with Scouting, the fraternity held a gathering of Eagle Scouts at its 2006 Centennial Convention in Washington, D.C. The focus, according to coordinator David Tyson, was on “bringing these guys together to use them as the obvious leaders they are to go back to their communities and start troops and packs.”

Tyson said the event brought together Eagle Scouts who were still in college with Eagle Scouts who could have been their grandfathers. During the two-hour event, they swapped Scouting memories and learned how much the program has stayed the same—and how much it has changed.

Matthews, who spoke at the event, challenged the group to go home and encourage more boys to become Eagle Scouts. “In essence he was saying to us, ‘It’s a party, but we didn’t just call you together just to sit around and talk,’” Tyson said. “‘There’s a mission here. I want you to understand that you’re the folks I expect to go back and make this program work.’”

A familiar proverb says that it takes a village to raise a child. The same can be said of creating Eagle Scouts. Matthews acknowledges that his fraternity can’t do the job alone. “I think it’s going to take an all-out effort on the part of organizations like Alpha and like the other national [fraternities] and like 100 Black Men of America to encourage our youth to become Scouts,” he said. “My fervent prayer is that other male fraternities in the African American community would take this on as a challenge and as part of their mission.”

In 1987, when a struggling oil and gas industry made job stability in that segment almost nonexistent,

William G. Higgs ventured out with two partners to form Mustang Engineering to provide engineering, procurement, and construction man-agement of offshore oil and gas pro-duction platforms. Mr. Higgs credits the lessons he learned during a life-time of Scouting for the ability to get the company off the ground.

Mr. Higgs got his start in Scouting as a 9-year-old Cub Scout in Cleveland, Ohio. His adult leaders provided continual challenges and mentoring, and he eventually become an Eagle Scout with three palms. Since then, he has been an active Scouting supporter and a driving force in raising funds for the nation’s largest BSA local council—the Sam Houston Area Council, which encom-passes Houston and 16 counties in southwest Texas and serves more than 160,000 Scouts. Mr. Higgs became the council’s 26th Distinguished Eagle Scout in April 2004.

As a young man, Mr. Higgs used the spirit and drive he found through Scouting to secure a spot at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York. He notes that the importance of Scouting is very evident in the acade-my’s selection criteria. Three of 10 background questions asked on the entrance questionnaire had to do with Scouting experience: Were you a Scout? Were you an Eagle Scout? Were you a senior patrol leader? Mr. Higgs said these questions explore whether the can-didate has been exposed to spiritual and moral codes, whether he has demon-strated individual initiative toward reaching a challenging goal, and whether he has leadership qualities.

At West Point, Mr. Higgs competed in soccer, judo, and wrestling. He gradu-ated in the top 5 percent of his class in 1974 and was a semifinalist for a Rhodes Scholarship. He served five years of active duty in the Army’s combat engineering branch, was an honor grad-

Mr. Higgs’ knowledge of these Scouting tools has paid off in his own adult experiences. He learned wood carving as a Scout and used the skill to carve a double chain link pendant that helped impress a young lady named Ann—who is now his wife of 30 years. He later carved a ball-in-a-box, earning the moniker of “Patient Boy” from his family. He used his skill in ropes to good advantage in his Army career for building bridges, lift-ing, securing loads, and rappelling from helicopters. Those skills were put to good use recently, when he climbed Rio de Janeiro’s Sugarloaf Mountain. Knowing how to start a fire with flint and steel served him well in the field as a Ranger, allowing him to prepare hot rations for his buddies while training in freezing rain in Florida swamps.

Mr. Higgs’ reputation in the engi-neering and construction industry has been recognized in many ways. His Mustang Company, now a business unit of Aberdeen, Scotland–based Wood Group, has grown to approximately 3,500 employees and is known globally as a leader in the engineering design of deepwater offshore oil and gas production facilities. Additionally, the company has built a stellar reputation in downstream, midstream, pipeline, automation, and nonenergy process markets. Mr. Higgs and

cofounder Paul Redmon received the 2004 Industry Achievement Award from the Engineering and Construction Contracting Association for their “visionary leadership” in the process industries.

Mr. Higgs and his wife, Ann, recently moved from Houston to North Carolina. They have two grown children. His son, Greg, is a graduate of Texas A&M University and is an Eagle Scout. His daughter, Stephanie, attends the University of Texas at Austin. Mr. Higgs continues to be an avid spokesperson for Scouting and its values.

uate of Army Ranger school, and served as Alpha Company commander in the 8th Engineering Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division, earning the rank of captain.

When Mr. Higgs speaks to groups about the benefits of Scouting, he relates his belief that Scouting improves a boy’s life through the tumultuous years of 11 to 18, that it helps family communica-tion, and that it provides the basis for lifelong values, service, and achieve-ment. He shares his secret formula of how to get youngsters interested in Scouting: “We hook them with activities based around knives, ropes, and fire. What boy could resist those?”

For generations, readers of Boys’ Life have flipped open the magazine to read “Scouts in Action,” which relates the stories of Scouts who have used

their Scouting skills to help other people. Many of those readers have doubtless imagined themselves in similar situations and wondered if their actions would be worthy of such praise. It’s one thing to practice first-aid skills at a troop meeting, something else altogether to use those skills to save a life. It’s one thing to say “A Scout is brave,” another thing entirely to be brave in a difficult situation.

Which brings us to the war in Iraq. Thousands of Americans serving in Iraq today have been involved in Scouting, and many of them are Eagle Scouts. Two recent stories offer a hint at the positive impact that Scouting has had on those men and their service.

‘Signs Up!’Capt. Dan Zinder, an Eagle Scout who grew up in Phoenix, is force surgeon for Multinational Forces—West, a 35,000-man force operating in Iraq’s Al Anbar province, an area roughly the size of North Carolina. As force sur-geon, Zinder serves as senior medical adviser to the force’s commanding general and oversees healthcare policy and implementation for the force.

Last year, Zinder traveled to Baghdad for a quarterly update of senior physicians and their staffs, along with personnel from related organizations helping with Iraq redevelopment. As is often the case at large meet-ings, noise occasionally became a problem, and it was hard to get people moving to the next activity.

Zinder picks up the story: “Out of nowhere came a booming voice—‘Signs up!’—followed by almost dead silence. When I looked over, there was the guy with the Scout sign up, laughing and saying, ‘I guess you all know what that means!’ It was great.

“I can’t tell you how many times I have heard this year, ‘You know, like when you were a Boy Scout, remember when they taught you to…,’ always finishing with some skill learned on a merit badge,” Zinder said. “The qualities engendered in boys through Scouting run

deep and are inherent in all those who are successful in the military, and in all of life for that matter.”

‘Corpsman!’Sgt. Jeremy Carlile would agree that Scout training leads to military success—starting from the very first day of boot camp.

“I distinctly remember in basic training how easy training was for me; most of it I had done before—or even taught,” he said. “First aid, hiking, camping (bivouac), leadership, physical fitness were all things that I had done within the Boy Scouts.”

In fact, Carlile, an Eagle Scout from Seattle, said he was so successful in boot camp that he graduated without the drill sergeants ever knowing who he was. His superi-

ors know who he is now— and for a very good reason.

Carlile is now on his second tour of duty in Iraq, where he’s the noncommissioned officer in charge of a base post office near Sadr City. He hopes to return to the States in September.

One night last year, Carlile was heading to dinner when mortars started hitting his base. Suddenly, a group of soldiers rushed in, shouting that someone had been hit. Without conscious thought, Carlile ran to the post office,

where he kept a combat lifesaver bag (a medical kit issued to soldiers who are trained to stabilize wounded soldiers until combat medics arrive).

By the time Carlile got back outside, the wounded soldier—who had two pieces of shrapnel in his left leg—had been brought in. With the help of three other soldiers, Carlile cut open the soldier’s pants leg, applied direct pressure to stop the bleeding, and started preparing him for an IV. Someone else found a stretcher, and the patient was soon on the way to an aid station, where medics took over.

In an e-mail interview, Carlile was quick to deflect praise for his actions. “I just want to say that by no means was I the only soldier working on this kid,” he said. “Everyone jumped in to help; that’s what soldiers do.”

It’s just what Scouts do, too.

In BriefKeeping NESA Members Informed of Scouting’s News

Special Award Honors Deceased ScoutsThe Boy Scouts of America created the Spirit of the Eagle Award to recognize the joy, happiness, and fulfillment that the Scouting program made in the honoree’s life. The award can be used to recognize any registered youth member who has died, not just a Boy Scout on the trail to the Eagle Scout Award.

Applications (No. 92-108) are available through local council service centers. They must be submitted by the unit committee and approved by the council within six months of the Scout’s death.

Eagle Scout Chases His Musical Dream

Growing up in Tallahassee, Fla., Justin Honaman had always enjoyed music. Encouraged by his voice coach, Heidi Higgins, he connected with engineer/producer Bob Bullock, who

has worked with such top names in country music as Shania Twain, Reba McEntire, and George Strait.

Honaman’s first CD, Saturday in the South!, and its first single, “Someone Is Missing Her,” were released in 2006. “It’s going to be a lot of fun to see how that goes,” Honaman said. The album, which has a pop-country sound, plays homage to college football, hence the name and the cover image of Honaman straddling the 50-yard line at Georgia Institute of Technology, his alma mater.

The album also pays homage to a very special group of children, those served by Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, one of the country’s leading children’s hospitals. Honaman is a longtime volunteer at CHOA and donates 20 percent of his CD sales to the hospital through the Makin’ Magic Happen Campaign for Kids.

Texas A&M Corps of Cadets Reaches Out to Eagles“Two Groups. Same Character.” That’s how the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, describes the relationship between the Corps and America’s Eagle Scouts.

Given that relationship, it’s no surprise that more than 300 of the Corps’ 1,800 members are recipients of the Eagle Scout Award or the Gold Award (the highest honor bestowed by the Girl Scouts of the USA). It also is no surprise that the Corps actively reaches out to Eagle Scouts.

Twice a year, the Aggie Eagle program brings high school juniors and seniors who are Eagle Scouts to TAMU’s College Station campus for a special weekend event.

Why focus so much on Eagle Scouts? According to program coordinator Joe G. Bax, “Our Corps tries to build leaders with character. Eagle Scouts have the character traits that we hold most dear. It is simply a matter of adding the leadership skills that membership in the Corps provides.”

For more information about the Aggie Eagle program, visit http://www.aggiecorps .org, contact Bax at 936-851-2576 or [email protected], or call the Texas A&M Corps Recruiting Office at 800-826-8247. The next Aggie Eagle weekend will be Sept. 28–29, 2007.

BSA Creates Online Center for Leader TrainingTo help Scouters maximize the time they devote to Scouting, the Boy Scouts of America has created the BSA Online Learning Center. Part of the BSA’s Web site, the Online Learning Center, at http://www.olc.scouting.org, lets Scouters complete a number of training courses without leaving their homes or offices.

Seven courses are currently available on the Web site: Fast Start training for Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, and Venturing; Youth Protection training; Safe Swim Defense; Safety Afloat; and Troop Committee Challenge. The interactive courses each take about an hour to complete. By logging in and supplying their BSA registration number, Scouters can review their training history and print out course certificates upon completion. Each Fast Start course also includes information on other courses required to become a Trained Leader.

Eagles Gather in StillwaterOn November 28, 23 Eagle Scouts and their families arrived in Stillwater, Oklahoma, for the inaugural Cowboy Eagles program on the campus of Oklahoma State University. The Scouts came from all across Oklahoma and Texas to learn about life as an OSU Cowboy.

The Scouts heard about campus opportunities and were able to visit the college of their choice before attending a reception held in their honor and attended by OSU faculty, staff, and students.

Open to Eagle Scouts who are seniors in high school and still active in Scouting, the Cowboy Eagles program recognizes that the same character traits that motivate a Scout also encourage him to take leadership roles in college and beyond.
