Clark Green introduces a quote from cartoonist Kin Hubbard—‘Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of middle-aged men’—as a window into what Scout leaders know about themselves, then delivers a Scoutmastership in Seven Minutes segment on a topic relevant to that insight.

Clark Green shares a letter Mike Rowe (host of Dirty Jobs) wrote to an Eagle Scout, which resonated widely in the scouting community, along with a comment from Colin who is on the home stretch to Eagle. The episode also features a Listeners Email segment.

Clark Green asks whether the hundreds of volunteer hours devoted to a Scout troop really matter, and answers with the story of Scoutmaster John Sexton and his Scout Otha Thornton, who went on to become a lieutenant colonel, served on the White House communications staff, and helped rebuild Scouting in Iraq during his deployment.
