This page is dedicated to our Scouts serving in the Armed Forces
I have seen both organizations and believe the reason so many Scouts continue into the United States Military Services is the common core
beliefs shared by both organizations. They both speak of service above self, being an effective, contributing member of a team, standing up for the ideals
and values of our Country, and duty, honor and country are the watch words of
both organizations! Their service is truly an unselfish act to put
themselves in harms way so you and I can enjoy our freedoms! Brigadier General (Retd.) Martin L. Graber Iowa National Guard Fort Madison, Iowa |
"I have had the privilege to watch these 11 year old "boys" grow up to be "men", and to be their Scoutmaster. It puts a lump in my throat, and makes me proud to watch these young men leave home to serve their country." Randy Faeth Eagle Scout Scoutmaster, Troop 39 |
"I have watched each of these young men advance through the ranks of the
Boy Scouts of America, and learn the many values of the Scouting program that
will serve them well in their military service." Greg Humphrey Eagle Scout Assistant Scoutmaster, Troop 39, BSA |
