Be Prepared

Today the Hau'ula 3rd ward recognized the 100th birthday of Boy scouts, also recognizing what had to be an inspiration for Baden Powell to originate the program.  This ward is "gung ho" scouting.  Since scouting came to Hau'ula 27 years ago, there have been 129 Eagle Scouts.  Tonight there will be another.  We feel priviledged to be a part of this program here.  How tied to the Priesthood is scouting.  Being prepared, has been the clarion call by the brethren for many years, physically, spiritually, financially, for our families.  The driving forces here in this ward is due to a sister, who helped her son go all the way through to Eagle, and she has helped many young men here, including our g'sons.  Her brother Paul, helps the 11 year olds who sometimes can fall through the cracks, going from cubs to full BSA.
