How do you carry a canoe???

On my honor, I will do my best, to do my duty to God and my country, to obey the scout law, to help other people at all times, and to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight! I am of the 4%!

As an Eagle Scout Myself as well. I remember a scout master I had who could say the oath in 3 seconds he was awesome.

Once an Eagle always an Eagle

Same I achieved mine in 2003

4 of these were discussion

4% of boy scouts alone. not including all the other youth who are not enrolled in the scout program.

jaramaya hayes Oh I couldn't tell 😂😂

JHayes_fishing 20 Me too

thank you for posting these words for me. My husband taught them to the troop when my son was a young scout. They are still singing that song today when they retire their flags. My husband passed away 4 years ago and my son is a Sargent First Class in the Army, but when I go to the troop's committee meeting I wait for them to sing that song before I leave. It just feels like my husband is still here.

I think I am the one who should be thanking you for both sharing your story and your family service to our country. one of my best friends lost his father in our first year in the boy scouts. he was very active in our cub scout troop and when it came time for his wake our scout troop stood guard by his casket, one scout at each side as we alternated shifts. he was a beloved high school science teacher as well. if I remember correctly there where literally over a thousand people that attended his wake, mostly prior students of his. I always found it ironic that his brain was so intelligent, yet that is where the tumor was. strangely I can tell you somewhat resemble my friends mother, who's name strangely is Karen too, she has some ways that keep his memory alive like when her youngest son was little, shortly after the funeral, said that finding a dime is his fathers spirit's way of reaching out. at first she thought it was just an kid saying kid things until they started to find dimes in the strangest places like once I saw him find one at the bottom of a public swimming pool. it has been two years since I typed the scout vespers into this comment section and to be honest, I actually forgot about the comment until I saw the notification on my phone saying that I got a reply on it. I shared it without intending for it to have any affect on anyone and to get a reply saying "thank you" years later is something special to me. I hope you know, especially in these difficult times, that your son is valued, and your family service is very much appreciated.

ctwatcher Hopefully he won't return

Hopefully.
