I worked with the Boy Scouts on January 12th to earn their scholar badge. The boys learned what it means to be a scholar. The importance of academics, behavior and work ethic was emphasized. We also talked about the Washington's ROARS matrix and why it is important to be respectful, take ownership, have a great attitude, be responsible and be safe throughout life. This was tied to both the academic life as well as the importance of being a good citizen. It was an absolute blast to spend some extra time with this great group of boys. I shared how I struggled as a reader growing up . We discussed how important it is to keep up with schoolwork and homework as well as give back to your community and do good things for other people at the sametime.
