"My staff experience was challenging and fulfilling. For five summers, I was inspired by others, learned from others and added to my planning, leadership and management skill sets. Added to the overall Scouting experience, this enabled me to achieve success in my professional careers and my personal life. Many of my closest friends were on staff"

– Retired staffer from the 1970s
