What Happens to a Scout?
For every 100 boys who join Scouting, records show that:
Rarely will one be brought before a juvenile court system
Two will become Eagle Scouts
Seventeen will become future Scout volunteers
Twelve will have their first contact with a church
Five will earn their church award
One will enter the Clergy
Eighteen will develop a hobby that will last through their adult life
Eight will enter a vocation that was learned through a merit badge
One will use his Scouting skills to save his own life
One will use his Scouting skills to save the life of another
