The Best Support of the Boy Scouts I EVER Read!!! May 14, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
It is often that one wonders what makes true heroes. Are they made or born? Then you read a book like this. About Heroes and the common man, and how he started like the average boy in your neighborhood, and just 'went to Scouts every week', and 'had fun' But after six years of energy, leadership and being mentored, many become Eagle Scouts and then they pursue a measure of excellence that leads them to 'paths greater than any imagined' Astronauts, Political Leaders, Firemen, Rescuers, Saviors of Youth, and Military Escellence. 50 stories of folks just like us that become 'the top of the heap', and move others to join the heap, not to step on others less fortunate. Start anywhere, any part of this book, no plot, no difficult passages, just tear jerking reminders of men and boys who would strive to 'achieve' and did as youths and then as adults, with outstanding results. A must read for teachers, clergy, and psychologists who deal with youth who need role models.

This book should be requied reading for all Boy Scout leaders and all Scouts with a goal of attaining the Eagle rank. Both will get a valuable insight into what defines an Eagle Scout. Adults will find themselves more knowledgeable and better able to explain the value of earning the Eagle. Youth will better understand just what attaining the Eagle means and the legacy they are expected to continue once they have earned it.

What an excellent testimony to the impact of Scouting over the decades.
This book is a must for Eagle Scouts, who almost certainly find themselves in the story. It should also be a part of any Scoutmasters library as it will provide dozens of stories to share during a Scoutmaster's minute or at a campfire.
Superb gift for the new Eagle Scout April 3, 2007

Excellent book for new Eagle Scouts to learn about some of the distinguished Eagles that have become for them, as well as the words of wisdom and advice these Eagle Scout leaders have for those that follow in their footsteps. We used it as a gift for our new Eagle, and encouraged those attending his Court of Honor to sign in the blank pages that precede and follow the chapters.
Truly Inspirational! March 21, 2007

The title caught my attention and the content kept my attention. The book is well written and the author has a way of inspiring young minds to reach this lofty goal, and makes those of us who have achieved the rank grateful for the hard work of leaders and parents who helped us. I purchased another copy and am circulating it among my five Eagle Scout sons and two sons-in-law. The stories are real life adventures and I was pleasantly surprised at people I know and respect even more now that I know they are Eagle Scouts. A great book. A greater gift.
