To be able to reach in and touch a boy's heart and bring him to a new understanding, to new heights, where something suddenly clicks within his heart and mind, is walking on sacred ground. He is never the same again. What a priceless experience! That is why I love Scouting. To touch the life of a boy in a way that he will hang onto it and remember it. That is what Scouting is all about." Bill Burch This book is dedicated to Scout Leader, Bill Burch, and other great scoutmasters and volunteer leaders who have made a significant difference in the lives of young men everywhere. Stories and values from Lessons of Life transcend Scouting in time and application. They go far beyond Scouting and apply to many different areas and seasons of our lives. These lessons will last a lifetime.
