“The only problem with Boy Scouts is that

there aren't enough of them.”

-- Will Rogers

"I think the character that you learn in Scouting—working together, being honest with each other, being close-knit, and depending on one another on our camping trips and while doing things—all this builds character in a young man that he takes with him into adulthood and makes him a much better citizen. And that's why Scouting to me has always been an organization I've wanted to help. I think it's one of the best youth organizations that we have in this country."

-- James A. Lovell Jr., Apollo 13 Astronaut

"I think that American leadership is vital to peace and prosperity and the advancement of democracy in the world, and that requires having strong leaders. And I don't think there's any organization in the world, certainly not in the United States, that better prepares young men for leadership in this country than the Boy Scouts of America—in teaching leadership skills, in teaching values, in teaching the importance of standing up for what's right.” -- Bob Gates, former director of the CIA
