"Scouting exposes young men to people and experiences that encourage and nurture positive moral values. But we mustn't take Scouting for granted. You can do nothing more important for young people today than to continue, or begin, your support of Scouting. I have never met anyone with devoted Scouting experience who was not a solid citizen, a loyal friend, and a patriot. We need more of them." - Wallace G. Wilkinson, former Governor of Kentucky

Amen.

Eagle scout and a scouting supporter.

As a youth I was headed in the wrong direction. Hanging out with some unsavory type people then I found scouts. It really turned me around.
Don't bring shame to our sport.

Barry,

I can't find where he said that exact quote, but I suspect it was in one or more of the many speeches he gave as President. I did, however find this interview he did in 1975 with the editor of Reason Magazine in which he expresses the sentiment, although not in the exact words. Here is the pertinent part of that interview. You can read the entire interview by clicking on the link at the bottom of the page:


REASON: Governor, could you give us some examples of what you would consider to be proper functions of government?

REAGAN: Well, the first and most important thing is that government exists to protect us from each other. Government exists, of course, for the defense of the nation, and for the defense of the rights of the individual. Maybe we don’t all agree on some of the other accepted functions of government, such as fire departments and police departmentsâ€"again the protection of the people.

REASON: Are you suggesting that fire departments would be a necessary and proper function of government?

REAGAN: Yes. I know that there was a time back in history in which fire departments were private and you insured your house and then had an emblem on the front of your house which identified which company was responsible for protecting it against fire. I believe today, because of the manner in which we live, that, you can make a pretty good case for our public fire departmentsâ€"because there are very few ways that you can handle fire in one particular structure today without it representing a threat to others.

REASON: How would you distinguish "socialized" fire departments and "socialized" fire insurance companies? Or would you be in favor of socialized fire insurance also?

REAGAN: No. Nor am I in favor of socialized medicine. But, there’s bound to be a grey area, an area in there in which you ask is this government protecting us from ourselves or is this government protecting us from each other. I don’t believe in a government that protects us from ourselves......

On the same lines







We need another Reagan now. This is an old speech but it rings so true today.
