Scouting
Teaches Citizenship and Bravery
It’s widely known that Scouts
develop a great appreciation for civic duty and responsibility through their
time in Scouting. So it’s no surprise that every day since the attack we receive
photos, links and stories of our Scout “alumni” who continue to quietly exhibit
heroism. The dedicated members of the Military, Police, Fire and EMS are filled
with Eagle Scouts who first took their oath to “help other people at all times”
while wearing a Cub Scout uniform.
The stories below showcase the
heroism of our Scouts in their adult life. Meanwhile hundreds of our Scouts and
volunteers, who are professional law enforcement personnel, are actively in
pursuit of the bombers. Today our prayers are with them, and their families, as
we hope for a quick and safe resolution to the manhunt.

Camp
Today
Our first annual Science camp
will conclude today. For the past five days, hundreds of Scouts have spent
their April vacation learning about the science of trajectory – through archery,
studying the effects of buoyancy in the pool, and earning the new robotics, inventing
and game design merit badges. Several of the campers are locked in their homes
today and will miss the final day and presentation from Astronaut, Bernard
Harris. Later this spring (likely first weekend in June) Boston Minuteman
Council will conduct a science day at camp to allow those boys to complete
their merit badge work and we will conduct a blood drive to help the victims and
finally a recognition for all our law enforcement and public service heroes
that same day.
This
is our Town
Early this morning as we made announcements regarding
Science camp we quickly received this response from one of our parents.
Just a quick note to say thank you for the update, but to
also let you know that I feel my children are safe (as safe as anywhere can be
these days) with you in the Blue Hills today, and that when we modify our
behavior because of the possibility of a threat than we allow the perpetrators
of terror to win or at least gain ground.
We will continue to Be Prepared, Be
Safe and BE STRONG – BOSTON STRONG
