 SHARE YOUR FATHER-SON SCOUTING STORY
Chattanooga Parent Magazine will feature Scouting’s Centennial in their January-February 2010 issue. One of their monthly features is a story about a father and son relationship.
     We are looking for a story of how your life has been impacted by your experiences in a Scouting program with your father, a Scout mentor/leader or with your son. What values were imparted? How has your experience made a lasting impact? Maybe it’s been multiple relationships that have been impacted with a multi-generational family of Scouts. You have lots of freedom in the subject of your story and have 700-800 words to share.
     Please submit your story online by November 30, 2009. One story will be chosen for the Chattanooga Parent Magazine feature. Other stories or excerpts may be used in conjunction with the 2010 Centennial Celebration of Boy Scouts of America.
