Boy Scout Day

February 8th marks the birth of Scouting in the United States.  On this day in 1910, William Dickson Boyce filed incorporation papers to form the Boy Scouts of America.

Boy Scouting has been a big part of our family!  All the Cutter boys have participated in some degree.  This picture is from my son's April 2009 Eagle Court of Honor.  It shows my father-in-law, Bob, who volunteered as a leader for Doug's troop; my nephew, Taylor, who is still working through the ranks of Cub Scouting; my son, Ryan; my husband, Doug, who is also an Eagle Scout and was a leader all through Ryan's experience.  My three other nephews are also Scouts:  Zach and Nate in Boy Scouts and Sam in Cub Scouts.

Scouting has provided all these men and boys with important life lessons and amazing adventures.   May the program continue to grow.  Thank you, Mr. Boyce!!
