I can agree that there can be disagreements and there can be examination of practices, but the Boy Scouts of America have been one of the most prolific organizations in the development of boys into men that I know about in this country. As one who served for 12 years as the scouting commissioner in my community, there was no sight one would rather see than 2- or 300 young boys at a blue and gold dinner or to see the 500 Scouts who used to participate in parades and other activities that we would put on. So, in addition to the community service that they provide, I commend the Scouts for developing boys into men, and I am pleased to join in support of this resolution.
