Southwest Airlines claims to be the friendly airline. Yes, the employees were nice to me yesterday on my flight home, but I again met someone else on the plane and we struck up the conversation about Scouting. As we approached Spokane the lady next to me asked if I lived in Spokane and what I was doing down in Boise. She had just got back from a conference on training and we started to talk about training people. I said I was a Scoutmaster and loved to train and teach young men the joys of Scouting. Turns out, her son is an Eagle Scout and she had nothing but great things to say about his Scoutmaster.

So, just when you think your Scouting day is done, think again. Next time you’re on a plane somewhere, talk to the person next to you and see if they want to talk Scouting.
