Michael Pocalyko

I’ve received the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award, dozens of Scouting recognitions from campfire to Boardroom, a whole bunch of those square knots, and a 50-year membership pin . . . and frankly, all of that is secondary to my Eagle Scout badge!

Over the past year, we’ve all been forced to learn a lot: whether about proper mask wearing techniques, or what “social distancing” is, or how coronavirus spike proteins work. But perhaps the most important thing that we’ve been pushed to collectively learn is how, in a moment of upheaval, we close in on the things that really matter to us.

William Gouker

Last year I had the honor of serving as the Lodge Chief of the Amangamek-Wipit Lodge, the largest Order of the Arrow Lodge in the nation, to serve and represent over four-thousand of my fellow Scouts and Scouters in NCAC. One of my favorite stories to tell of my own journey along the trail—one that truly defines what it means to be in the world of Scouting—originates at our very own Goshen Scout Reservation.

Forrest Horton

After seeing Scouting Families in action first-hand, speaking at roundtables and camporees, kayaking Lake Merriweather at Goshen Scout Reservation, enjoying Family Camping at Camp William B. Snyder, attending National and World Jamborees at The Summit, and being inspired by our Scout youth speakers at every NCAC event, I am convinced more than ever that investment in our youth is essential for the future of our country!

Ken Davis

I am an Eagle; my son is an Eagle and an Army cyber NCO and my grandsons have benefited from Cub Scouts, as well. While we are all bombarded daily about this important cause or that, few groups in our nation can offer and deliver training and challenges to young people that reinforce American values like the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). For over 100 years we have shown that we develop young people of character, citizenship, leadership and fitness as our legacy of Scouting!
