I have been involved in Scouting for about 10 years now with my oldest recieving his Eagle this last December and my youngest at Star and moving up. The oldest is our driver and Lead student/coach and the leadership skills he learned in Scouting show through. For all of you scouts that have not made Eagle yet, hang in there what you learn by working with those younger scouts, "mentoring" them will pay off later as you learn people skills. I myself completed the adult leaders Woodbadge program and would not trade my experiences there for anything. I wish we could have all FIRST mentors go throught the training as they would have a better appreciation and skills to handle the youth they deal with. BTW
Demonstrations to Cub packs go over big.
