I want to share a really cool moment...
I just attended the Order of the Arrow Section 10 Conclave, a gathering of 3 Lodges. Samuel Crowder, the youth currently serving as the National Chief of the OA joined us today. During the closing show, Sam called out probably the youngest, and certainly the smallest scout. Sam said they lad had really impressed him, and Sam saw big things in the boy's future. Maybe even a future National Chief... and then, taking the golden shoulder loops that are his emblem of office off, he made the boy National Chief (pro tem) for the rest of the show.
Even better, every time Sam might have been called forward for the rest of the evening... they called them both forward.
I won't be surprised if Sam's prediction does come true... and I am sure that the young man will remain active in the zoA and Scouting for a long time.
