Friends of Scouting Breakfast--Outside His Comfort Zone

At 6am this morning:

Wearing his new Men's L scout shirt,

because you know, 

all 6'4" of him doesn't fit in his Men's M shirt anymore.

We didn't take all the badges off his old one,

not yet anyway.

He was invited to speak to a room full of Boy Scout leaders, sponsors,

and potential sponsors of the BSA.

Was he nervous?

Uh yeah.

He's not a polished public speaker.

In fact, this was his first time speaking to any group,

in his life.

So you know, he had to think it was worth it.

It was fancy shmancy too:

   His name in print:

 On stage, my crummy focus wouldn't work, but this is just proof he did it!

  What did share?  

His most favorite Scouting activity:  

a 3 day trek across the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains.

In his words, "Backpacking is my life!"

Here's to many more jaunts outside his comfort zone!
