After hearing so much about it, we decided to buy Follow Me, Boys (it's only $6 or $7 on Amazon, depending on your timing), and we watched it for the first time the other day. My reaction afterward was, "I hope our boys get a few Scoutmasters like that."
We often use the phrase, "Every boy deserves a trained leader." I think it takes on new meaning when you start thinking specifically about your own son(s).
What kind of people do you want to influence your boy(s)'s life? What kind of leaders do you hope he has? What types of examples and mentors? That is what every boy deserves to have.
That's what I hope every leader considers when deciding what kind of leader to be. What if it was someone else leading your son?
And for those who are not currently called as leaders, you still can have the opportunity to mentor boys as a merit badge counselor. Boy Scouting would not be the same without the opportunity for the boys to interact with many different positive role models.

I completely agree. Every time someone asks why I dedicate so much time and energy into scouting, I tell them it's for 2 reasons. First, it blesses my life and second, it's what I hope someone does when my son is in scouting.
