Scouting TroopsTuesday, September 11, 2007
I love the scouts! I was a girl scout, and my mother, many years ago, helped run a Brownies troop, and Campire Girls before that.

Scouting teaches children values that are often overlooked in modern society - values which are really very, very important. These strong values, combined with production and giving back to society, give children a real sense of self esteem.

Boy Scouts of America has a lot of information on their website. But scouts don't exist only in America - for instance, the Scouts of India have done a lot of good for their own country.

Famous scouts include:
L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology
J.K. Rowling, of Harry Potter
Emma Thompson, actress
Queen Elizabeth II
David Beckham, soccer great
Tony Blair
Laura Bush
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Katie Couric
Dakota Fanning
Barbara Walters
Martha Stewart, millionaire homemaker
Buzz Aldrin
Walter Cronkite
Harrison Ford
Henry Fonda
Bill Gates
John Glenn
Michael Jordan
John Ritter
Ronald Reagan
Nancy Reagan
Jim Morrison


If you have a scout troop, you can make a free scouting website - it's easy.
