Leaders attend Scouting event in Canfield

CANFIELD — Jonathan Boyd enjoys studying physics at Kent State University on a full scholarship, but he also isn’t shy about sharing one of the core experiences that paved his educational path.

“Self-leadership is one of scouting’s main goals,” the KSU sophomore said during today’s 10th annual Whispering Pines Friends of Scouting breakfast at Camp Stambaugh, 3712 Leffingwell Road. “[Scouting] helped me decide to go to college.”

More than 100 community and business leaders and others attended the breakfast, which was to celebrate scouting’s impact on the Mahoning Valley and espouse many values and lessons that Scouts learn.

Hosting the 90-minute fundraising gathering was the Whispering Pines District Greater Western Reserve Council Boy Scouts of America.
