Scoutmaster's Minute & Coach's Corner
as part of a Mountain Top Experience
"Before you [young men] lies the path to manhood. It is an uphill course - uphill all the way. But as you climb, you become ever stronger and rise ever higher. There are some foothills of life that almost every young man will climb. They are the hills of missionary service, of military service, of education, and the highest of them all is the mountain of eternal marriage. It will take a lifetime and more to climb, but it will lead you literally to celestial heights.
There are steep and dangerous places along the way, but somehow the paths that go around these hills, the easy roads, lead downward. All seem to end in the stagnant swamps of failure."
