Of any 100 boys who become Scouts, it must be confessed that 30 will drop out in their first year. Perhaps this may be regarded as a failure, but later in life, all of these will remember that they had been in Scouting and will speak well of the program.

Of the 100, only rarely will one ever appear before a juvenile court judge. 12 of the 100 will be from families that belong to no church. Through Scouting, these 12 and many of their families will be brought into contact with a church and will continue to be active all their lives. 6 of the 100 will become pastors.

Each of the 100 will learn something from Scouting, and all 100 will develop hobbies that will add interest throughout the rest of their lives. Approximately 50 will serve in the military, and in varying degrees, profit from their Scout training. At least 1 will use it to save another person's life, and many may credit it for saving their own.

3 of the 100 will reach Eagle rank, and at least 1 will later say that he valued his Eagle above his college degree. Many will find their future vocation through merit badge work and Scouting contacts. 17 of the 100 boys will become adult leaders and will give leadership to thousands of additional boys.

1 in 4 boys in America will become Scouts, but it is interesting to know that of the leaders of this nation in business, religion and politics, 3 out of 4 were Scouts. 

We now Proudly present our Eagle Scouts!
