I Finally Made it to the Philmont Scout Ranch

For many years I have wanted to go to the famous and historic Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.  But the the opportunity never came - until recently when hen my opportunity finally came.  It was not the usual Philmont trek - nor was it a Philmont typical training course - but it turned out to be wonderful and fun.  You can read about my trip here:  My First Trip to the Philmont Scout Ranch

The Fun, Adventure and Romance of Scouting

“FUN, ADVENTURE, AND ROMANCE …”  One of the Youth Leadership professors at Brigham Young University – the college I attended, talked extensively to us about the “Fun, Adventure, and Romance” of Scouting.  “Adventure,” he said, “Is when you do something for the first time.  “Fun” is when you repeat the adventure and still enjoy it.  And “Romance” is the Spirit of Scouting, the classy experiences that tie you to the program. Romance keeps you coming back for more fun and adventure.”    Read the full blog:  The Fun, Adventure and Romance of Scouting

I'm so Grateful I'm in Scouting

It was Thanksgiving and as I counted my blessings, I recognized Scouting and my years of involvement with it as one of my greatest of blessings. I decided to put some of my feelings into poetic prose. This is what I wrote on The Scouting Trail blogsite: https://thescoutingtrail.org/2016/11/24/im-so-grateful-im-in-scouting/

Dean Hunt Youth Leader Extraordinaire

Some of you may remember Dean Hunt - my brother. Dean died as the Westwood Junior Class President but touched the hearts of everyone through his caring and dynamic leadership. Dean was the Junior Class President and was known by everyone at his Westwood High School. A great leader, he triumphed even through cancer. Though facing death, Dean teaches us to have faith in God's plan for each of us, to love life, to be a friend, to face life (and death) with guts, to be a man of character, to believe in ourselves, to share and to serve, to "go for it" and to "hang in there". The lessons of Dean! This book tells of his triumph through his cancer and ultimate death. The book contains his journal kept just before his death - and my own biographical information on Dean. I have just published "Dean!" on Amazon. Check it out at amazon.com/author/kevinhunt
