Scouting's greatest lessons are often learned from fellow Scouts.

Scoutmaster Alan Amato of Troop 49 in Marlton, New Jersey, highlights one of the program's greatest strengths. While adult leaders provide guidance, Scouts develop leadership by teaching, mentoring, and supporting one another. Those experiences build confidence, responsibility, and teamwork in ways that last well beyond their time in a troop.

From camping trips and summer camp to unforgettable experiences such as visiting the White House and the U.S. Capitol, Troop 49 gives Scouts opportunities to challenge themselves, explore new places, and create lasting memories. Just as important are the values of the Scout Law, which continue to shape leaders long after they earn their final rank.

Thank you, Scouting alum Alan Amato, for giving today's Scouts in Marlton the same opportunities to learn, lead, and grow that helped shape your own life.
