My early years as a Boy Scout were invaluable
in helping to shape the course of my later life.
Throughout my public service and extensive travels
around our country, I have seen firsthand evidence
of the immeasurable worth of the basic values taught
by scouting programs.
The Scout Oath to help other people, to keep physically
strong, mentally awake and morally straight and to do
one's duty to God and to our country provides a solid
base on which to build both individual and national
strength.
The three great principles which scouting encourages --
self-discipline, teamwork and moral and patriotic
values -- are the building blocks of character. By
working for these principles, those who belong to and
support the Boy Scouts of America add greatly to the
vitality of our society and to the future well-being of
its people.
