Welcome and "Mission" Statement

Hello everyone!

Welcome to my blog on sports and scouting in America. Throughout this recent election, I have noticed how the lessons of scouting and sports have been so relevant. Admittedly, at times, the connection between sports and politics is somewhat irritating, but I think the connections are worth noting. Some of my posts will reflect on modern political events. I am a self-proclaimed moderate conservative, and indeed voted for John McCain, but I will attempt to take a fairly non-partisan view in any political posts.

Next, I am also a huge fan of college football, NFL football, and Major League Baseball. While many of my posts will reflect on the value of sport in our lives, others will simply be reflections on current sporting events as well. I hope that readers will come to enjoy a fresh new take on recent sporting activities.

Finally, my reflections on scouting will largely focus on my past experience in scouting, and how I believe they can influence others. I hope that scouters will use this forum as a voice for this worthy cause. And I wish all Life scouts the best in their quest for their Eagle Scout award.
