Five other troops were also represented. As part of the day we worked on our Aviation Merit Badge, broke into groups and learned about aviation education, mechanics of flight, aircraft pre-flight inspections, aeronautical chart course plotting, sat in a plane, had a foam paper plate glider competition and much more. Since it was the day before the air show many of the airplane demonstrations were practicing so we got to see it before anyone else. There was a B-25, T-28’s, OTTO the helicopter, Iron Eagle Aerobatic Team, 4CE Aerobatic Team, Black Diamond Jet Team, skydivers and more. As a bonus for our Troop 352 attending, I helped arrange a special up close tour of the Black Diamond Jet Team. My uncle Lt. Col. Scot Zamolyi (Eagle Scout – Troop 361, May 1985) works with the Black Diamond Jet Team and took our Troop to see the planes (Aero L-39 Albatross), which would be flying in the show this weekend, up close and personal. We asked questions, met some of the pilots and learned more about aviation. It was great!! Troop 325 would like to thank the Black Diamond Jet Team organization again for their hospitality and will not forget our time with them. -EZ (Troop 352 - Life Scout) SEPTEMBER 2013 South Mountain District Newsletter -4- Scouts build character by building ramps We often talk about service to others as one of the core tenants of Scouting. We remind ourselves to “do a good turn daily.” Our commitment to serving our communities where we live, work, and play has always been the lifeblood of Scouting. That’s why in 2012, the Boy Scouts of America joined the Messengers of Peace, a global initiative designed to inspire millions of young men and women in more than 220 countries and territories to work toward peace by recognizing and sharing their stories of service to their communities. At the 2013 National Scout Jamboree, we took our commitment to service a step further by participating in the Messengers of Peace Day of Service. 160 Troops participated in each of five days of service, for a total of nearly 350 projects in the nine counties that surround the Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve in West Virginia. The goal was for Scouts to make a meaningful impact on the lives of residents in those communities, and for the communities to make an impact on the Scouts. One group of Scouts went beyond meeting that goal, and in the process gained so much. When Troop A420, made up of troops from the Minsi Trails and Bucks County Councils in Eastern Pennsylvania, b o a r d e d the bus and left the Summit for their day of service, they had no idea what they were getting into. The bus driver’s packet of information told the Scouts they were headed to a private residence to build an ADA-accessible ramp and remove vegetation. Sounds simple, right? When the Scouts arrived in Scarbro, West Virginia, they were in for a great surprise. Not only were they able to transform two homes by building a ramp and helping with yard work, but they were also able to transform the lives of the two women – Donna Boley, and her daughter, Mandy – whose homes they helped fix up. Mandy was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) when she was just 28. MS attacks the central nervous system and left Mandy, a former nurse, unable to do many of the simple tasks most of us take for granted. While Donna lends her daughter a hand on a daily basis, Mandy’s home was in need of new ramps so she could safely enter and exit her home. For Donna and Mandy, the day was surprising in many ways. Imagine having a busload of nearly 40 Scouts arrive at your home, ready and willing to undertake projects to spruce up your home. By the end of the day, they were overwhelmed by the hard work the Scouts had completed. SEPTEMBER 2013 South Mountain District Newsletter -5- Not only did the Scouts build new decks and ramps for Mandy, but also they noticed that Donna’s home needed some attention and worked to power wash the house, clean up flowerbeds, remove brush and freshen up a shed. Most importantly, the Scouts left a lasting impression on Mandy and Donna, who were both amazed at their hard work and struck with the respect each Scout paid them. For the Scouts, seeing the look on the faces of Mandy and Donna and understanding how much these women truly appreciated their work was a moving experience. I had the pleasure to be right there with them. While the day was exhausting for each and every Scout, they were filled with joy and so proud of the difference their work made. According to Scoutmaster Steve Dashe, the day of service was the high point of his troop’s 10-day experience at the Jamboree—an impressive assessment considering the endless adventures Scouts were able to experience at the Summit. These Scouts set a great example of the service we all work to provide in our communities. This focus on service and community leadership is just one way that we make sure our Scouts are Prepared.

  • 2018 Scouting's Impact on the Economic
    2018 BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA ANNUAL REPORT TO THE STATE Scouting’s Impact on the Economic Engine of North Carolina 2018 Annual Report to the State of North Carolina For more than 100 years, youth participating in the Boy Scouts of America have promised “to help other people at all times.” Another of the Scout Laws is to be thrifty, which teaches Scouts to ‘work to pay their way and to help others.’ These principles encourage each Scout to identify the needs of others and to address those needs through diligent work. Helping others through innovation is the basis of entrepreneurship. Scouting teaches self-discipline, leadership, teamwork, and resourcefulness. The Scout Oath and Law emphasize integrity. With this training in hand, many North Carolina Eagle Scouts start and lead companies, contributing their ingenuity to fill unmet needs and achieving economic success. Over 400 Eagle Scout entrepreneurs lead high- growth companies in North Carolina industries, including real estate, healthcare, and technology. These Eagle Scout entrepreneurs no doubt helped North Carolina become Forbes Magazine’s “#1 Best State for Business” in 2017, and a state whose 871,000 small businesses account for almost half of North Carolina’s employment and gross domestic product. By highlighting Eagle Scouts from across our state who have created dynamic and successful companies, the 2018 Report to the State recognizes entrepreneurial leadership as one of the many contributions of Scouting. As you read this report, collected and assembled by a committee of Eagle Scouts, whom I thank, you will be encouraged by these Scouts and their dedication to conscientiously fulfill their duty to serve others through business.
