Went to Camp Tracy with John, Reed, and some other 11-yr-old scouts this past weekend. It was a lot of fun. The boys learned how to shoot .22 rifles, archery, lashings, knots, first aid, nature, rowing, drug awareness, flag ceremonies, and other things. A highlight of the experience was witnessing the retirement of a flag. Did you know there are only two groups that can retire the American flag: the Boy Scouts and the Armed Forces? This gave me a renewed sense of gratitude for those that serve our country, and for the blessing I enjoy from being a citizen of the United States of America.
I am grateful for the Scouting program and those that serves therein. Truly, it is an inspired program, designed to strengthen boys, families, and the nation. I look forward to many more scouting experiences as my boys continue through the program.

I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: "Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown." And he replied, "Go out into the darkness and put thine hand into the hand of God. That shall be to thee better than a light, and safer than a known way." [John Bartlett, comp., Familiar Quotations (Toronto, 1955), p. 881]
