book everyone should read October 27, 2007
There are many titles one might find interesting, but this one stands out above the rest. The American people have forgotten what honor means, and if we don't teach moral and ethical values at home, in our churches, and in our schools, we will lose that sense of honor. Young people are searching for meaning and values and are not finding them in our secular and modern world. Scouting is a noble organization, and must be preserved.
Great Book and Gift for Eagle Scouts October 19, 2007
I really enjoyed this book. It made me remember what earning my Eagle was all about. I have recommended the book to several other Scouters and have purchased it as a gift for a new Eagle Scout. I would highly recommend this book for anyone involved with Scouting and also for those that wonder why people spend so much time involved with Scouts.
Scouting- This country's last, best hope October 2, 2007

This book is more than a collection of stories told by old men about their youth. Rather, it is a cry for America to wake up and see that its young men are confused and lost today amongst political correctness and gender neutrality. Listen carefully to what the Eagle Scouts are trying to say. The values of scouting and the friendships made during a young man's formative years remain with him forever. Scouting is the only place in most boys' lives where exposure to these values can be obtained and put into action while working with others. Parents are often too busy trying to make ends meet to spend time with their boys and besides that, boys listen to other adults before their parents anyway in most instances. As a scoutmaster who regrets he never made Eagle, I thank God for Scouting and Scouters and I thank Alvin, for this book.

This book is filled with inspirational true stories. If you have a scout close to becoming Eagle, but has lost his desire to finish, reading this book could fill him with enough motivation to finish his Eagle work. I can tell you, anyone who had a chance to make the rank of Eagle and gave up -- regrets that decision for the rest of their lives. And for those few that do make it, they enjoy a special global recognition unique to the brotherhood the have joined, also for the rest of their lives.

I bought these books for my two grandsons , who just earned the rank of Eagle. I flew from the East Coast to Hawaii for the Honor Court and presented the books to them. I had read some of it first and was quite impressed by the stories of other Eagle Scouts. I highly recommend the book to all young men pursuing the rank of Eagle Scout. It is a wonderful book.
