Rotarian Rob Christy spoke about his experience with Boy Scouts of America.  He reported that 3% of all Boy Scouts earn Eagle Scout rank.  Douglas County has the highest number of Scouts in the Denver Metro area who achieve this rank each year.  Douglas County had 96 boys achieve Eagle Scout in 2013.  

Rob also shared about 2 activities available through the BSA: Venturing (a self-directed youth development program for boys & girls ages 14-21 who design their own adventures and fundraisers) and Exploring (a program for boys & girls to investigate career opportunities such as public service, engineer, aviator, and more - for which participants do not have to be scouts).
