NY Times: As partners, Mormons and Scouts turn boys into men

As a member of the LDS church and an Eagle Scout I am very proud to up hold the mantel of both institutions. The teachings of both have made me who I am today: coupled with my education I am currently receiving, has been a blessing and a rock to rely on in tough times. Now, as a father and husband of soon to be two kids, a little boy (girl coming in two weeks), I have used what I have been taught to help strengthen my family along with my wife, for the tough times ahead. My son will be given the opportunity when he reaches 7 to go into scouts I hope he finds it amazing as I did, my daughter will also be given the opportunity to go into the young women’s program that is equally important for her growth. I love scouts, I love being a Mormon with strong values who is not dictated by society but by the scriptures of God. Peace :)
