Minute of Time, Lifetime of Legacy

The Scoutmasterminute has a detailed post and video about a new idea for Eagle scouts described as the Eagle Reserve Initiative.
He writes on the web site;
“In my travels across the country, I’ve heard again and again that Eagle Scouts of my generation want to give back to Scouting, but serving as a traditional weekly leader often doesn’t suit our situation in life. I’ve also seen that many troops lack the outdoor skill and leadership to provide their Scouts with the high adventure so crucial to a good experience.
So, we attacked both problems and developed a program where a group of Eagle Scouts can help chaperon a local troop on a camping trip, once a year.
The pilot took place outside Atlanta in Fall 2008 and the Eagle Reserve program is being rolled out nationwide. We just need Eagles to volunteer to get back into their element and go camping with their friends…and take along a group of Scouts.
This is our generation’s chance to give back and create this Movement’s future.”
