Between Troops, Crews, Packs, Teams, Ships, Posts, and even Labs; there are about 3 million people currently registered on the Boy Scouts of America. While that may sound like a lot of people, it is less than one percent of the population of this country.
The World Scouting Organization estimates there are about 28 million people involved in Scouting around the globe. That equals about 1/3 of one percent of the Earth’s population.
Suffice to say, we are part of a small group no matter how you look at it.
With that in mind, I have a great quote for you guys to take with you and think about this week:
From American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead:
“Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world; indeed, they’re the only people who ever have.”
