12 Simple Words by John W. Kennedy - 160 pages, release date Oct 30,2024 “This book offers my vision of the powerful personal resource these 12 words hold, and it also incorporates the input of over 50 successful people from different walks of life, including Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, adult leaders and more,” said author Kennedy. “I’m thrilled that this book has finally been compiled." Next paragraph is a review from Amazon which resonated with moderator me. I recommend Read Sample on the Amazon link below. "One of the things that drives John W. Kennedy the craziest and increases his personal cynicism is the fact that we do not communicate anymore. This sounds odd in a world full of communication devices, but 'talking at' is not 'talking with' others. We always look to find someone to blame instead of listening and trying to understand another's POV. Most of the time, blame is never the answer needed to act, but something to deal with after the solution is found. Debate and arguments have value when they do not become personal. He has changed his approach many times in life, when someone convinced him of a better solution. We must stop making broad assertions and assumptions based on factors out of one's own control. We need to decide that groups are made up of individuals that have differing life experiences. We can embrace and learn from many."

Growing up (in the UK), I was as a cub and then a scout - officially, the program was cub scouts, but the youth were known as cubs. -

Troop 12, Hollis, NH Travels to Kauai for Biennial BIG Trip Senior scouts of Hollis Troop 12 returned on August 2 from their “Big Trip” to the island of Kauai. The trip, which began on July 23, was the result of two years of research, planning and preparation. The scouts were joined by seven Troop 12 Eagle Scouts who recently “aged-out” of the program when they turned 18, but became adult leaders. The troop established a base camp at BSA Aloha Council’s Camp Alan Faye on the borders of Koke’e and Waimea Canyon State Parks. Summer camp for Kauai scouts was not in session at the time, so Troop 12 had the camp all to themselves.... (see link below) Troop 12 has been conducting a “Big Trip” every two years for almost 30 years. Scouts independently select potential destinations, research them, and formally propose them to their peers over the course of a school year. At the end of that year, the troop votes to select the next destination. Detailed planning is then conducted by participants during the next 12 months for the following year’s Big Trip. In addition to selecting appropriate camping spots and daily high adventure activities, scouts have to plan for their meals and all other logistics to support the trip, including equipment lists, emergency services, cell service coverage and dead spots, grocery store and gas station locations, parking and backcountry permits, and duty rosters.
