Scouting – done right – builds spiritual leaders, says Mormon author
Scouting is so important that the very best man in an LDS ward should be the Scoutmaster, says the Mormon author of a new book about bringing young men to Christ.
And Bradley D. Harris should know.
He's not only served on the Young Men General Board for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for the past three years but has been a professional Scouter for 22 years. He helped create the Venture Scout program and he speaks to youth all around the country about scouting.
He knows the program and the potential — a potential he says is largely going unfulfilled.
