[RememberSchiff]

Eagle Scout David Montgomery who has played football for  Iowa State, the Chicago Bears, and presently the Detroit Lions, has now has been named our National Recruitment Ambassador.

“David’s never been even tempted to do something wrong,” his mother said. “He watched several of his friends do the wrong things, but David kept himself around positive people.

“Football’s always been his go-to. It was something he’s always been good at. It was about all he ever even thought about until I got him into the Boy Scouts.”

“David’s inspiring story showcases the valuable impact Scouting can have. Because of the skills David learned while part of his local Cincinnati troop (772), he was able to reach the pinnacle of Scouting, and also his athletic career. We appreciate David’s leadership on and off the field and we’re excited to have him share the Scouting story with a new generation of youth.” remarked Scouting  America CEO Roger Krone.

 

“While Scouting took me outdoors and helped me discover a lifelong love for camping and fishing, it also taught me valuable lessons like developing a strategy and executing a plan, as well as how to be accountable for others than myself,” stated Montgomery . “These skills helped me both in Scouting and also taught me how to be a better athlete on the field.”
