Again and again this week in Washington, important officials have told the Scouts and Venturers delivering the Report to the Nation that real-world experience is just as important as education

Lt. Gen. Leslie Smith, Inspector General of the U.S. Army, welcomed the Report to the Nation delegates to his conference room inside the Pentagon on Monday.

Four Eagle Scout midshipmen gave a special tour of the U.S. Naval Academy to the Report to the Nation delegates. The academy’s National Eagle Scout Association chapter is one of the nation’s largest.

At Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA scientists give up a Saturday to drive into their place of work and host a group of Scouts and Venturers.

Each of the Report to the Nation delegates has a remarkable story to tell, so we listened as they told those stories. Watch the video, which originally aired live on Scouting magazine’s Facebook page.

Twelve tremendous delegates will represent the Boy Scouts of America next week in Washington, D.C., to deliver the 2017 Report to the Nation.
