- 12 will have their first contact with a church
- 1 will enter the clergy
- 5 will earn their church award
- 18 will develop a hobby that will last through their adult life
- 8 will enter a vocation that was learned through the merit badge system
- 1 will use his Scouting skills to save his own life

Indeed. Happy Birthday to the Scouts. I expect to be seeing TheBoyG's Eagle announcement in a few years. :)
But how old is the pinewood derby?
My dad was a very dedicated scout in his teenage years, rising to Eagle Scout and was a scoutmaster in early adulthood. Considering all this it surprises me as I look back and note he never made any attenpt to get me involved.
Happy Birthday to all Scouts & Scouters! To think that, but for the drive of Lord Baden Powell and that one unknown scout who did a good turn, none of this may have happened.
Scouting build character.
