Being a Boy Scout: Stories of an LDS Scout

By Benjamin David Lunt

Stories of a scout, growing up in a Mormon troop, from when he was just turning twelve to getting his Eagle at the age of sixteen. A story of a favorite campout, where the hike was almost more than he could handle, and a 100-foot wall of water sweeping him off his feet. Fishing stories that you won't believe. Stories of how a scout troop turned a tall skinny kid in to a young man ready for whatever life had in store for him.These are short stories told by a grown man of his memories of being a young scout, learning the rules and ways of life. Going to Scout Camps, learning how to cook over an open fire. Stories that scared him silly, stories that made him laugh, stories that made him cry.Stories where he learned how to be trustworthy of his actions, loyal to his fellow scouts, helpful to others, and a good friend. He learned to be courteous, kind, obedient of his leaders, cheerful as activities were near, and thrifty with the few dollars he might have had. He was sometimes brave and clean, though usually more brave than clean, and learned to be reverent when that time came upon him.
