Recently at The Apple Seed, we were thinking about iconic American organizations that have influenced our lives or our families’ lives and one of the ones that came to our minds was the Boy Scouts of America. We realized that the 108th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America is right around the corner, on February 8th, so we decided it was the perfect time to share some stories about scouts.
