Boy Scouting Saved My Life!
The Boy Scouts of America is an organization for which I will always be grateful. The BSA
brought positive male role models into my life, and taught me life and survival skills that I
use to this day. As a young adult, Boy Scouting provided opportunities for me to lead and
learn. As a troop leader for "special needs" Boy Scout Troop 390 of the Clinton Valley
Council, Boy Scouting revealed to me the great potential of children and adults with
developmental and physical disabilities. As evidenced by the photos in the slideshow, Boy
Scouting taught me that "no mountain is too high."
The link is to an AP story about Troop 390 and other special needs Boy Scout troops that
became the first to lead the Michigan Thanksgiving Day Parade, and our efforts to do it all
again. https://apnews.com/d2fe92ef3c314b5e960e105df7e92a19
A big shout out to Jim Stone, the founder and first Scoutmaster of Troop 390. Jim is a good
friend and mentor. Thank you, Jim!
