Our Speaker Today:
web design and programming by www.sdsol.com
Shannon Rodriguez
District Director at South Florida Council, Boy Scouts of America
Shannon has been with Boy Scouts of America for 8 years, and is responsible for South Miami, Kendall and Pinecrest. Rotary and Boy Scouts have been partners in serving young people since their inception, as the principles and goals of both organizations are closely aligned. Both organizations emphasize character-building, service to country, others and self, and teach leadership skills. The values expressed in Rotary International's Four Way Test greatly parallel those in the Scout Oath, Law, Motto and Slogan. Rotarians have long been role models and chartered Scouting Units.
Scouting teaches life-long skills and provides practical training. Approximately 75% of scouts identify a career path through the merit badge system. Scouts are best known for their community service. The highest achievement in Scouting is to become an Eagle Scout - only 2% of Scouts achieve that level. The military automatically raises Eagle Scouts one rank after they complete basic training.
