About The BSA:
Discovery is at the heart of Scouting. Whether it’s a campout, derby car race, or hike on the trail, we believe every adventure helps us uncover a little more about ourselves. We build the foundations for humility and compassion-strengthening character through actions-to prepare youth for a lifetime of leadership.
Mike Rowe is saying the Boy Scout awards program is a teaching tool.The truth is this program builds good boys into good men.
Mike Rowe is such a good inspirational and motivational speaker imo. his speeches are spot on and just awesome.
I'm a little late to the party, but I just came across this video. Like Mike I was a Boy Scout in my youth. I went into Scouting because my older brother was in Scouting. I never got past 2nd Class. (I kept losing my card and had to keep starting over). My time in Scouting would be nothing more than a footnote except for the fact then when my son was in 3rd grade he came home and wanted to join the Cub Scouts. The next year I became a Webelos Den Leader and this began my 25 year involvement with the Boy Scouts of America. Over the years I have earned many awards. I was proud of all that I had accomplished, but of all the things I did, I was most proud the day I saved a guys life. At the time, I was the Non Ferrous Metals Manager for a local scrap dealer. One day one of my guys came into my office in a panic. A customer was down on the ground and wasn't moving. I ran to his aid and found him not breathing and I couldn't get a pulse. I got on the radio to get an ambulance and then started CPR right away. By the time help arrived I had managed to get his heart beating and he was breathing. He still hadn't come to when the ambulance left. His buddy came back the next day to thank me for saving his friends life. I had not fully understood the magnitude of what I had done the day before until he said that. I was just doing what I was trained to do in Scouting. So Mike, I don't have a distinguished Eagle Scout award, but I do know that it was Scouting that helped me help that guy that day and that feeling is better than any of my awards could ever be. Thank you for everything you do for the Scouts. PS: My son is also and Eagle Scout. Pretty proud of him as well.
Who was the dislike, Kathy Griffin?
Thank you for posting this, I plan to have my Webelos Den watch and discuss it. Mettle, not medals... God Bless ya Mike Rowe.
As a Life Scout, I have honestly learned more in the Boy Scouts than I have ever and ever will learn in an American public school. I am so glad that I am part of the Scouts, and I cherish every moment of it.
So I'm not at all trying to minimize what people learn in the scouts, but for whatever faults public education has, people make the most ridiculous statements about it. I know there is a differential in what types of things you learn, boy scouts teaches things that affect more your day to day life, whereas regular schools focus on building fundamentals for other stuff. You don't learn science, history, geography, math and spelling because it's needed for most of day to day life, you learn it so you have the opportunity to pursue other things that require those skills later, and to develop your brain. The brain is like a muscle, it forms and structures itself based on demand. If your school is bad, maybe it never challenges your brain, maybe doesn't build all of the right fundamentals, maybe they're neglectful, but it's one school out of 10's of thousands, over 50 states that all have different laws and methods. People paint with too broad of brush strokes.
Mike Rowe is one of the most cherished people I received a congratulatory letter from upon receiving my eagle.
i am a boyscout i joined a couple of months ago and its awesome the campouts are great i have earned six merrit badges BSA is awesome
How can you dislike this? What a great representative of Scouting. Thanks, Mike.
Salutations to Mike and you all.
Mike Rowe should be asked to serve as National President or Chief Scout. He gets it!
This is probably one of the best speeches I've heard. It's not often you get a guy that is very good at speaking and Mike Rowe is definitely a great man.
As a member of the the scottish scout assosciation from age 7 till 28 and also someone lucky enough to visit a BSA camp in 1997 (Camp lakota, defiance ohio.).. I´m so glad to see the scouting movement is carrying on so well.
Great presentation by Mike Rowe, we NEVER had got things this good in the UK!!
I'd like to thank God for the awesome opportunities I had as a youth to become an Eagle Scout. Now I wish to carry that torch to the generation after me.
Proud Eagle Scout since 1957. Once an Eagle Always An Eagle. Still take part in Eagle Rituals today. Great program.
I am a scout in BSA. I am a first class scout and I have had many fond memories so far.
Eagle Scout in 1957. Was one of the proudest moments In my life. Great program. We earned it!
Inspirational and entertaining speech.
Being an Eagle Scout is not something you did, It is something you Are. Thank you for posting this.
I totally agree!
Great message. Thanks for your support.
very inspirational speech well done mike and without a script
I love it I'm a boy scout my self and I'm not a eagle scout yet but talking and see how well and see them in uniform it amazing and make me happy to be a scout and I can't wait to become a eagle scout And to have that honor to be an eagle and I think I need to use this speech at the next meeting but thanks
i wish they would edit this down to about 5 min. and send out as a recruiting tool !
probably one of the best speeches I've ever head.
Great talk.
Awesome speach!
Mike you got me all emotional, damn it sir that was excellent!
Congratulations Mike Rowe! You deserve it!
Very well said Sir. I try to instill the the very same things in my son. It doesn't matter what you say or who notices, the ONLY things that matter is what you do, even when no one is watching.
Well said.
That was really great! Very well said, and well deserved!
When is Mike going to run for president?
Great speech. Great Guy. He would get my vote. I did, however, think it was funny how at :45 seconds he says I don't want to feel like a politician and then walks in front of a giant flag that couldn't look more like a politician if it were scripted.:)
thank you mike Rowe being the only good part of this arena show
So AMERICAN
Can't wait to see Mike Rowe at the 2015 NOAC for the 100th anniversary of the OA. He said "Call me", so he'd better be there.
Gotta say, loved the speech, and I love how Mike didn't understand why his brother said "I saved a guy's life, great meatloaf mom." I can tell you as a lifeguard (eagle scout as well by the way) that I have saved kids lives and casually told my parents or friends about it, because the first time is a big deal, subsequent times are just doing your job. I have buddies in the job that can't tell you exactly how many saves they have, we give out red beads to try and keep track, but it just is.
