“Skills have been learned, values have been established, good deeds have been done, and lives have been enriched. Scouting skills have also saved lives.”
 - President Thomas S. Monson

“Scouting brings out the best in each of us,” President Monson says. “You’ve learned much from Scouting. Live what you’ve learned and will continue to learn. Help others to hike the trails, to keep steadfast in the paths of truth, of honor, of duty, that all of you can soar together on eagles’ wings. You are part of a mighty army of youth, even a royal army, and every organization, to be successful, has an honored tradition to uphold. May you uphold Scouting’s tradition, for it can be as a lighthouse beacon in the world of stormy seas,  it can be a motivation to prepare for your role in life, it can be a yardstick against which you measure your accomplishments.”
 -President Thomas S. Monson
