Over the past few months the Las Vegas Area Council has been taking one of our portable climbing walls out to Schools. At each school the students are given the chance to climb the wall while we tell them about the fun and adventure they could have enjoy through scouting. Hundreds of youth have been able to participate. For many this has been the first time they have been able to participate in something like this. It has been fun to watch the nervousness in a young persons eyes turn to joy as they are able to conquer their fears. Yesterday we had a videographer on site who made this cool video. Check it out.

Most families are not engaged in any character-building youth development program. There are 70 million children in America that can benefit from all that Scouting has to offer. Lets work to give all youth chance to participate.
Tatum and Ian W., 10-year-old twins who are both participating in Webelos, are looking to be among the first brother/sister duos to eventually earn the rank of Eagle Scout.

Do you know the story of George Washington and his father’s cherry tree? It goes that six-year-old Washington damaged a cherry tree with a hatchet. When he was confronted by his father, George bravely responded, “I cannot tell a lie … I did cut it with my hatchet.” Washington’s father’s anger at the injury to the tree was replaced by joy that his son was so honest. It’s a tale that’s been passed down for generations, but ironically was made up by a biographer who was short on information about Washington’s early life, but took it as an opportunity to promote good values.
