Remembering 9/11, Focusing on Service
Dear Scouting America Family,

Twenty-five years ago, we saw the best of humanity rise to meet the worst of days.

First responders ran into danger.

Neighbors helped neighbors.

Scouts offered a helping hand by sending water, supplies, and even putting notes of thanks inside gloves meant for heroes on the front lines.

That’s the duty of every Scout — to help other people at all times.

That's how we truly never forget.

As you focus on acts of service today, I invite you to watch and share this video.

Respectfully,
Roger A. Krone
Chief Scout Executive

In the hours and days after September 11, 2001, Scouts across the c...
