Dear Parents,

Is your son getting the start in life you want him to have? If he is 7 years old now he will be on his own in another 12 years. If he is already 9 he is halfway to adulthood. Will he have the character-building experiences he will need when he is on his own?

- We all hope that our children will be the kind of people we can be proud of, and that their lives will be happy and productive.

- The Scouting program involves young people with the kind of friends you would like them to have, working with adults of good character who will be positive role models to them.

- Scouting teaches respect for other people, respect for oneself, and respect for God and Country – all vital to our community and nation’s future.

Accompany your son to a meeting. Then make a decision: Is Scouting worth your family’s time? I hope you will make the same decision that I made and enroll your son in America’s finest youth program.

Sincerely,

Mark Stager
