'Yea, Boy Scouts!' by Peggy Rowe
"Most parents agree that they made mistakes raising their children. If they could only turn back the clock and try again... Though my husband and I fall into this category, there is one thing we got right: encouraging our boys' involvement in Scouting. The Boy Scouts influenced our three sons in ways we could not, and opened a world of opportunities to them."
One of those sons is Mike Rowe, who grew up to be the star of TV's "Dirty Jobs..." and an Eagle Scout.
His mom wrote a great story on the importance of Scouting in her boys' lives.
