Did you watch the Detroit Lions defeat the Baltimore Ravens last night? What a game!

Scouting America alum David Montgomery was simply sensational, carrying 12 times for a career-high 151 yards and two touchdowns -- including a 72-yard gain and a 31-yard score in the fourth quarter that sealed the win.

Montgomery joined Scouting as a Cub Scout in his hometown of Cincinnati. He earned the rank of Eagle Scout from Troop 772 in 2014. Now he serves as the Scouting America Recruitment Ambassador.

Listen to him share his passion about Scouting 👇

In 2024, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center received nearly 860,000 reports of scams, with potential losses exceeding $16 billion. Of those, acts of fraud targeting people over the age of 60 accounted for nearly $5 billion.

That’s why 17-year-old Tejasvi Manoj — TIME’s 2025 Kid of the Year — created Shield Seniors, a website designed to educate the 60-plus demographic on how to detect, report, and protect themselves against online scams.
