Belcher Came Prepared

"The greatest thing scouting offers is the opportunity for young men to build a value system," Belcher states. "The scout oath and the scout law are very, very powerful determinants. I think about those values that I learned—trustworthy, loyal, helpful and friendly—every day. I often have the opportunity to speak to groups about the influence that the Boy Scouts have had on my life. The opportunity to lead, to work as a team with other people, and the concept of service to your country and your community—those are all powerful parts of the Boy Scouts experience that molds young men into leaders for the future."
