The Medlock Post Ep. 56: Values and Promises
I have an important 60th anniversary taking
place. On September 24, 1962, I earned
my Eagle Scout Award. I grew up in
Scouting since my dad help start Troop 183 in 1951 and served as Scoutmaster
until 1969. I had the honor to serve as
an adult leader in the Scouting Program, even as a Scoutmaster. My dad was a great example of dedication and
leadership to my brother and myself. And
many more Scouts in his troop.
Because of current circumstances with the National Boy
Scout Organization, Troop 183 was retired after 68 years in 2019.
It was an invaluable honor to have grown up in the
Scouting Movement and served as an adulty to carry it forward as long as I was
physically able. The life lessons
learned, the friendships that developed, and the outdoor experiences served to
help me with life and family.
I was able to serve on our local Scout Council in many
different levels of leadership. The last
position was over the Council Adult Training Program. Training and teaching being one of my
passions. I also served on several
national committees.
I would like to take some time and review and remind
myself and you, the listeners, of many of the reasons the Scouting Movement
still means so much to me.
Let's start with the Scout Oath and Scout Law.
