I can't thank you enough for developing this website. I am a first time den leader (since August) who wasn't immediately trained, and has faced frustration at every turn in being a den leader- from handling the boys, keeping them interested, and parental lack of involvement. I was ready to turn in my shirt May 10th after our last meeting and tell the cubmaster that I'm not prepared to handle this responsibility.

You've changed all that. Your website has far more help in it that any of the 6 others I've investigated. Thank you. I really DO want to continue in scouting for my boys (2 sons) and now that I even have the heads up on Tigers, I'm willing to do more with these little munchkins, as well as my wolfs.

Thank you so much for taking the S T I N G out of SCOUTING.

I am a Webelos Den Leader, den leader coach and Cub Scout trainer. I am sooooo happy to have found Scouting Way. I will use these stories in my den and pass them on to others.

My son used to love the part of Boys Life where they talked about famous scouts and then they cut it out. He really misses it. The first thing he would do is open it up read the cartoon and tell me and all his friends at school how this or that cool person was/is a scout. This will help to fill that void. It is so important for kids to have good role models, so thank you for helping to provide that.

Thank you for a great idea! Now in my 10th year of Scouting, second troop (my first troop moved on to college), I find the girls love stories all the way through. I will be using inspirational stories that my girls can relate to at my troop meetings for sure.

Thank you for sharing your creation with me. The hard work of you, your wife, and all others that helped in making the newsletter a success will inspire many Scouters and Scouters to be. I congratulate and commend you for this Good Turn. I will share this with my colleagues and fellow Scouters.

I have subscribed and have given subscriptions to other Girl Scout leaders in my area and I know they will enjoy it too!

What a great thing you have done with this newsletter. I am so happy you have contacted us. My son has been involved in scouting for about five years. My husband was very involved but passed away a year and a half ago.

As you can imagine, scouting has become a more important element in my son's life than ever before. I am so thankful for all the adult volunteers that are such great role models. I applaud your effort with this one more great way to influence kids in a positive way. Thanks,

Everyone I have talked to that I sent a subscription to the Scouting Way has been very well satisfied. Our Wolf Den Leader told me last night that he used part of one of them at his den meeting last night.

As a Cubmaster and Asst. Scoutmaster and father of three boys, I often feel like I'm in a one man battle against those who would rather have our sons grow up to be 'politically-correct' than 'morally-correct'. It's great to see organizations like yours that bring the values of Scouting to the forefront and give people the help they need to spread the positive impact that Scouting has on our youth.

"Thanks" and "Hats off to you and your wife" for creating this newsletter. It is so nice and makes me happy to know that there are truly still great people in this world that hold true the morals and truth that we must teach our children.

I think what you are doing with The Scouting Way is WONDERFUL!! I have added a link to your website on our Boy Scout Troop site.

I think this helps boy and parents realize that Scouting DOES and WILL make a difference in their son's lives, even though they may not see it as it is happening.

I just wanted to let you guys know that I love your site and your newsletters are great! As a parent and leader, we need pick-me-ups every now and then; this site is so inspirational.

I have had many of our Scout families say how much they enjoy getting the newsletter every week. It has really helped our boys (and families) to see that Scouting is not just another activity, but a way of life.

Thank you for the job you do. It is important that we understand the impact Scouting has. Your "Scouting Way" provides some important facts to help us all do our job.
