Inspiring Family History Moment


Do you have an inspiring ancestor? Someone who conquered a new land, defended his family in a battle, or made sacrifices for those around him?

Acts of heroism are not always a matter of being fearless – more often it’s just the opposite, doing what is right in spite of being afraid. Being a Scout, by which I mean living by the Scout Oath and Law, the Slogan and the Motto, more often means doing things that are not “cool” or easy in less news-worthy – but no less heroic – ways, than in Boys Life stories: facing down peer pressure, seeking-out ways to help people, being courteous even to the non-courteous, placing God rather than self at the center of the universe.

Find a story from your family history, or share one found at Family History StoryBooks or another free source and share a real story of adventure and courage with the boys.
