Take it from a 6 year old, my boy's favorite section is the Scouts in Action comics.   It was my favorite section as a boy reading Boys Life too.

I, too, think the BL articles are fantastic.  Very inspirational for our boys.  But what about the adults?  A nice article in the hometown newspaper does wonders for the parents who see what scouting can do for their boys!  It's the next logical step in promoting BSA in today's society.  No one seems to be upset about their kid getting Student of the Month, or a picture showing the local Show Choir at their latest competition, or the Friday night football highlights.  Why not Scouts!

that's just about the only section in the magazine I'm sure to read.

 

I regret not submitting my son for when he rescued his little sister in a hotel pool on a family trip.  I would have gotten to her in time, but he was just a bit closer.

He didn't want me to submit it....said it was nothing, anyone could have and would have done the same thing..... which was true, but still.....

You honored his wishes, that's worth more to him than anything. He's humble. He did his brotherly duty. He KNOWS how you feel and that should be a great comfort to you. So pat yourself on the back. You raised an excellent son who is humble and a hero. Few can say that in this day and age. Well done!!!
