More Than Scouting

I work in advertising in New York. The Scouting movement helped set my moral compass that has guided my work and my life. Scouting taught me empathy, work ethic, and strong leadership skills. It’s funny. I remember NO knots and my first aid might be a bit fuzzy — but beneath the surface the Scouting movement isn’t about the requirements or even the ranks. It’s about building character for a better, more inclusive world.
