Eagle Scout Reception & Breakfast with Author Alvin Townley
Legacy of Honor author and Eagle Scout Alvin Townley has a new book out, titled Spirit of Adventure, and will be joining us here in the Old Hickory Council for an Eagle Scout reception in Winston-Salem on the evening of December 1st, 2009, and a breakfast in Mount Airy on the morning of December 2nd, 2009. Alvin will be signing copies of his new book and talking to local Eagle Scouts about his adventures in interviewing Eagle Scouts around the world.
Spirit of Adventure introduces America to a new generation of leaders - young Eagle Scouts who are leading lives of purpose and adventure. To meet these young men, Alvin traveled the globe, diving in Australia, surfing in Hawaii, rock climbing in Nevada, venturing into Africa, and cruising home aboard the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz. He discovered an inspiring story of service and leadership.
These Eagle events are just one part of an effort to reconnect with former Scouts and Eagle Scouts through the Alumni Connections program. If you know former Scouts or Eagle Scouts ask them to visit www.bsaalumni.org where they can reconnect with Scouting. Although only Eagle Scouts will be invited to the Eagle events there will be many other opportunities for former Scouts to get involved in the 100th Anniversary celebration and rekindle their Scouting spirit.
