Testimonials
"I have been working with the Association since the Fall of 1994. In the beginning, it was a little unsettling; all of the boys in my company were 2-3 grade levels behind in math and reading skills. And it isn't always fun by any means. But, overall, I have to say that the mentoring and Boy Scout program is a wonderful thing. Not only does it help the child socially and scholastically, it's really a personal fulfillment for the mentor."

"It's tough at times, but I'm really having a ball with my little kid. And hey, if me and my sister can do this, anybody can--just joking--but, really, I think there is a kid out there for just about everybody if you want to do it. You just have to be patient and stick it out."

“For 12 years now, this program has made it possible for us to show 5 to 10 boys each year from Bankhead Courts . . . what we have learned as working adults. You try to pass that on, not only to your family, but to others as well.”
