I find myself saying that over and over. The more I'm around other troops, the prouder I am of our boys. We have our troubles and recurring issues, I am full aware. But over all, our boys are respectful, welcoming, amiable and responsible.
When they are asked to clean tables, they actually wipe them down with soapy water as they're told, instead of swiping the food to the ground and calling it "clean."
They line up at the flag poles instead of straggling in late and looking like a scruffy mob.
The youngers almost instantly belong, and are taught the "rules" by example instead of being ordered around and barked at.
We even have boys who will sweep out a tent without being told, and work together to move a campfire stone by stone, without complaint.
I'm telling you, we have the BEST Scouts around!
