A boy on joining wants to begin Scouting right away.
Scouting exposes young men to people and experiences that encourage and nurture positive moral values. But we mustn't take Scouting for granted. You can do nothing more important for young people today than to continue, or begin, your support of Scouting. I have never met anyone with devoted Scouting experience who was not a solid citizen, a loyal friend, and a patriot. We need more of them.
Scouting contributes to a boy's preparation to hold the priesthood of God. Scout leaders have a sacred responsibility. They help boys learn Scouting principles that also help them live the gospel. We thank each leader as they foster faith in Christ and prepare boys to make temple covenants and become a missionary, husband, and father.
If a boy messes up, you walk away. If a boy isn't treating you right, you walk away. It sounds simpler than it is, but you can't allow yourself to be disrespected. You have to be a strong girl.
The sport in Scouting is to find the good in every boy and develop it.
Scouting is a man's job cut down to a boy's size.
The method of instruction in Scouting is that of creating in the boy the desire to learn for himself.
In Scouting, a boy is encouraged to educate himself instead of being instructed.
When we are made right with God, we begin to think right, we begin to talk right, and we begin to act right.
No parent should be denied from their Scouting - their son's Scouting experience simply because those parents happen to be gay.
Scouting teaches a boy to take care of himself and stand on his own two feet.
As a young boy, scouting gave me a confidence and camaraderie that is hard to find in modern life.
Mormon leaders said in a statement they will reexamine their ties to the Boy Scouts. "The church," they said, "has always welcomed all boys to its Scouting units regardless of sexual orientation. However, the admission of openly gay leaders is inconsistent with the doctrines of the church and what have traditionally been the values of the Boy Scouts of America."
Whatever God is urging you to clear away cannot begin to be compared to what He ultimately wants to bring you.
The Boy Scouts of America stands for a set of principles. These principles have a lot of staying power. The values you learn as a Scout are like a compass. They can help you find your way through difficult and sometimes unchartered terrain. The principles of Scouting give you a sense of what's important. I feel I owe the Boy Scouts a great deal, both personally and professionally.
Guys, gals, now hear this: No one wants to take away your hunting rifles. No one wants to take away your shotguns. No one wants to take away your revolvers, and no one wants to take away your automatic pistols, as long as said pistols hold no more than ten rounds. If you can't kill a home invader (or your wife, up in the middle of the night to get a snack from the fridge) with ten shots, you need to go back to the local shooting range.
Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to go there right away.
