March 24 - Don Fletcher, Chair of the Grand Canyon Council of Boy Scouts of America, gave us an overview on scouting and some of the policy issues that have required careful navigation. Don has been involved in scouting for many years and believes the scouting organization provides role models for many young boys and affords them opportunities that they might not get elsewhere. He also described the challenges of starting a new troop, such as the one that is being proposed for Guadalupe. Don spent time describing his 50th birthday adventure - climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. He learned some valuable life lessons during that trip and he shared them with us.
