Scouts Then and Now, Chapter 3: 49 inspiring sets of photos

If we look at photos of the same Scout — once in his early Scouting years and once later in life — the visible changes will be obvious. The nonvisible changes, such as more confidence, better character and stronger leadership skills, exist just out of view.

This life-changing power of Scouting inspired Scouts Then and Now, a Bryan on Scouting blog series. I’ll share two photos of the same Scout or Venturer: once in his or her early Scouting years (Cub Scout, younger Boy Scout, younger Venturer) and again in his or her later Scouting years (Life Scout, Eagle Scout, older Venturer).

The submissions have been rolling in, but it’s not too late to share your photos. Here’s how.

Chapter 3 of Scouts Then and Now is the biggest yet. Here’s the latest batch of 49 inspiring photos.
