LDS Scouting vs Reg. Scouting

[Eamonn]

We only have one LDS church in our area. It is not in my district, so to be very honest I really don't get that involved.

However, one of the women where I work is married to an LDS Bishop. They are the nicest family. They invited me to their sons Eagle Scout Court Of Honor. Held in the church.

It was one of the best that I have ever attended.

I like to think that as Irish Catholics, we are a close knit family, but the love and feelings that were so very apparent at this Court of Honor, was a real eye opener.

The Lad who became an Eagle is now away doing his mission in Taiwan, his mother tells me that he is really making use of the skills that he got from being a Scout.
