Quotes by Alvin Townley (?)

“selfless Scoutmasters gave us their time not because they knew what we’d become, but because they knew what we could become.”

“At Sanford’s 1998 funeral in Duke Chapel, childhood friend Dickson Philips eulogized this Eagle from Troop 20 in the town of Laurinburg. To the assembled crowd, he eloquently said, “[Terry Sanford] took an oath when he was twelve years old and kept it. It started out, ‘On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country,’ and included such things as ‘help other people at all times.’ He believed it: He was the eternal Boy Scout.”
― Alvin Townley, Legacy of Honor: The Values and Influence of America's Eagle Scouts
