"Our daughter was incredibly shy and had never spoken in public before joining Pack 673. After just a few years, she was confidently telling jokes and performing skits in front of the entire Pack! It's been amazing to watch her grow in self-confidence and public speaking skills."

"One of the proudest moments of my time as a Den Leader and father was seeing my son and best friend get up in front of two whole Packs to perform a skit they had written themselves! A few short years ago they refused to even think about performing a skit!"

- Tyler L, current co-Den Leader of the Bears

"My eldest son is a Scout that recently moved in with me from his Mothers from across the country. He joined a new Troop, and due to current dynamics, he has to attend/help me with his siblings' Pack meetings. He happened to be wearing his Troop Class Bs the night our Pack was holding the EOL crossover ceremony. As a newer Scouting parent I did not know that the EOLs "crossover" to a Troop and was surprised to see my son's Scoutmaster and peers join us. Shortly after he was invited with them to accept our EOLs and in observing this, I felt a strong sense of pride, as it was my first time seeing him in a position of responsibility."

- Gabe, current Cub Master

"As a mom to two current scouts, I keep supporting my kids in the program for two main reasons, the socialization opportunities and the values that Scouting builds into the program. I have watched my son and daughter learn to make friends with adults and children, set and hold boundaries, and respect the boundaries of others in a constructive way. As a family, we find that referring to the tenets of scouting when we have to reinforce the right behaviors gives us a common vocabulary at home that makes these conversations easier."

- Diana, current parent
