A scout learns a lot from their Scout Master but the Scout Master learned what he knows from his mother. Poor Quinton, he has a big legacy to live up to. Good thing you are his mother! All my love. Arn Mags,

My husband (and father of 4 daughters) has spent more than 20 years in the Scouting program. He has provided the kind of leadership your father provided and we have seen it change lives. It is such a joy to receive mission call announcements and temple sealing announcements from some of his boys. Your father is one of those amazing men! And how super that you have such a great testimony of what the program CAN do! Thanks for the beautiful post. Kim Maggi,

And you have quite the adventure ahead of you. Of the mother of one of those Eagle Scouts (the one you married) I am so proud of all that you do and accomplish. And I know that you will mother and nuture those four grandchildren to be mature and spiritually minded, just as you are. Love you lots. Maggie, you are the awesome mother of three wonderful boys.

And I adore what you had to say. Being the mother of all girls I often lament the care and dedication given to the male half of the church population at the age of 8. I wish such measures were given to the girls as well. I too can see and feel the difference that scounting makes in a young persons life. You are very blessed. Mags, you are awesome.

I just endured a 12-day, scout-induced stint in single motherhood. And, your post reminded me that if one boy's testimony was helped along the way, then this 'high adventure' calling my husband has been given will be worth it. Loved seeing you on Segullah!

I'm so excited to see your writing on Segullah!! I hope I get to see more of it! I love this piece. Someone told me once that you love the people you serve. Your Dad is certainly a living example of that, and the beautiful thing about it all is that those scouts loved him back. That's how our callings should be right? I have a lot of respect for the scouting program, and know it is a good thing for our boys. Your boys are so lucky to have such a great scout Mom like you!! MAGS!

It shows what happens when the right people are called into scouting. Not that your dad was qualified prior to his calling but through a desire to serve and a love for the scouts he touched many lives. Not to mention the lives of your own family. I see the bike as a symbol of that love that the boys had for your dad. The right scout leader makes a world of difference and that is felt by the YM and their parents. What is your dad doing now? I will bet he has or is serving as a Bishop. What a great piece. It shows what happens when the right people are called into scouting.

I just got called into cub scouts for the first time, and I was feeling a little unsure about how to proceed. I now have a model for the kind of leader I want to be, and the kinds of skills I want the boys to learn. Thank you. Thank you for this beautifully written post!

I think you're an excellent writer and scout mom. I'm so glad that you've been so supportive to our scouting program. We need your family. I'm just learning all the scouting stuff and I don't know much. I better get on the ball though. A very touching piece. Thanks. Wonderfully said! I think you’re an excellent writer and scout mom.

I love that you can appreciate your dad's calling. It's so good to remember that every calling is service. Now I can appreciate my husband's scout leaders even if things didn't seem to sink in at the time, he eventually came around and turned out to be a pretty great guy! Maggie!
