This Uniformed Little Boy It seems like only yesterday, his eyes were lit with joy, As we watched with admiration, this uniformed little boy. Camp outs, picnics, Pine wood cars, the years slipped quickly by, The colors changed from blue to green, in the twinkling of an eye. Soon came ranks of Tenderfoot, Second, First, and Star. Each leading towards that final request, once visioned from afar. And then the rank of Life, and as life can often do. The goal so close within his grasp, was dimming from his view. Yet from within he found the strength to reach that final quest, Remembering words from years gone by: I WILL DO MY BEST. It seems like only yesterday, his eyes were lit with joy, As we watched with admiration, this uniformed little boy. Now with an eagle upon his chest, he soars, where once he ran, No longer that uniformed little boy; our Son...and Eagle...A Man.

  • Firearms, Freedom and the American Experience Annual
    2015 Annual REPORT Firearms, Freedom and the American Experience MESSAGE From the President is an honor to present to you The NRA Foundation’s Annual Report for 2015. Our thanks go to you IT and your generous commitment to support The Foundation’s activities. Grants awarded to qualified programs from The NRA Foundation totaled $33.5 in 2015 and now exceed $300 million in funding since inception through more than 38,000 grants in support of the shooting sports. Funds raised by Friends of NRA continue to provide resources for expansion, growth and development of eligible programs at the local, state and national levels. A high priority of The NRA Foundation is its support of public educational programs across America. The NRA Foundation is committed to working together in planning for the future of the shooting sports and standing behind our country’s traditions. To that end, I would like to offer a special thank you to the gun collecting community. Collectors play a vital role in preserving our history and the American culture of freedom. As stated by NRA President and distinguished firearms collector, Allan Cors: “Whether it’s hunting, competitive shooting, or gun collecting, when you introduce someone new to the activities we enjoy, you’re giving firearms and the freedom to own them a new ally, shareholder and believer. That helps the NRA, but more importantly, it secures the freedoms the NRA fights for.” The Foundation is proud of its role in funding support for thousands of eligible programs in communities across the country, and without you our success would not be possible.

Camping and the outdoor program is an important aspect of Scouting. Scouting strives to build character, citizenship, and fitness. When scouts go camping, this growth just seems to follow. Patrol and troop camping are models and a testing ground for life in society where each scout learns to accept responsibility and to exercise good judgment. Camping contributes to the interaction among fellow scouts in positive and supportive ways since Scouts who camp will soon come face to face with practical applications of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

The Boy Scouts of America was building its first-ever National Scout Jamboree site in Washington, D.C. It was, by all indications, going to be an epic event. But a “serious epidemic of infantile paralysis” — polio — had other plans. The Jamboree was postponed. On the occasion, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had been scheduled to host an event on the White House lawn, took to the radio waves to send a message of resolve and courage to Scouts around the country. Much of the nation listened on their tabletop radio. His message recognized the resilient nature of Scouting: When you go out into life, you have come to understand that the individual in your community who always says, “I can’t” or “I won’t” or “I don’t,” the individual who, by Scott Sorrells inaction or by opposition, slows up honest, practical, far- National Commissioner seeing community effort, is the fellow who is holding back civilization. … We need more Scouts. The more, the better. By now, you know the rest of the story. The polio epidemic was one thing right now, I urge you to reach out and check on your defeated.
