I would not just limit it to scouting. Our dealers should think about all youth groups, teams, etc. as a potential source for future boaters. When my daughter ran a marine dealership in Pennsylvania she would take challenged young children on boating trips. The publicity was awesome. Liz

I am a ex-scout leader and Eagle scout (1964). I taught fishing, boating and rowing merit badges. Also did a lot of the citizenship badges. Introduced a lot of kids to the marine environment. My son who is now a young salesman and a Eagle scout himself might want to restart the merit badge counselor thing we did before.... Chuck Happy New Year.... Boat show time again. It is a good idea.

Why didnt I think of it as a former Scout and Scout leader myself? Some of my most memorable experiences as a human being are the Scout "ventures' that i had and the comraderie I enjoyed in the process. As Liz said, it helped shape who i am today. ---Still a believer in the Scout oath ("trustworthy, loyal..") and motto (be prepared!). Love this idea.
