All the awards, ranks, extra credit recognition and patches for just about everything is one of the way some boys get “hooked” on Scouting first in Cubs then all the way through. I guess I will admit that the recognitions were a motivation of sort to me with the opportunities to be outdoors my greater motivation I believe, as that love of nature and the great outdoors continued through the rest of my life. Here’s a few pages from my various scrapbooks with two overlapping Boy Scouts & Explorer Scouts which in one sense is all the same. And there are more patches on my other Scout Pages since nearly every event and place has a patch! 🙂
