Exhilarating
anecdotes of grand adventures through the backwoods of Northern Arizona,
thrilling tales of creatures that creep and bite, and sagas about the ties of
brotherhood that bonded two boys and their troop together—these are the stories
that await in Arjun and Arun Moorthy's book, Two Brothers' Scouting Journey:
An Insider Perspective.
Told
from the firsthand account of two brothers in the Boy Scouts of America, you'll
be captivated by the twists and turns of their brave voyages and by the
poignancy of what they discover along the way.
Each
chapter is a new vignette with a lesson learned through the trials and
tribulations of earning the Boy Scout name. Arjun and Arun begin as Cub Scouts
on their first camping trip and soon learn that boyhood, adventure, and leadership
are inextricably linked on the journey they are about to begin.
Follow
the brothers as they battle white water rapids, rattlesnakes, and the
challenges of team leadership. Their quest for knowledge takes them to the
highest treetops, to the darkest caves, and all the way to City Hall as they
learn the skills they need to navigate the modern world.
These
coming-of-age tales dive into what it means to grow up in the era of the iPhone
and still realize there is so much of the world left to explore. Where some
kids might get lost in a show or videogame, these boys take on the task of
finding a greater connection to the world outside, and learn some valuable life
skills along the way.
Set
against the backdrop of an Indian-American household, you'll get to know this
a-typical scouting family until you feel you've become part of it. You'll share
camp meals and trips to the doctor's office. You'll hear about moments of
stubborn will and learn lessons about the responsibilities of troop
participation. You'll learn that the legacy of the BSA is about much more than
tying knots and setting up camp—it's about the values of family, service, and
leadership. It is about brotherhood.
By the time you've reached the last page, you'll
be ready to sign up for the BSA as well. If one image in these stories is
clear, it is of the rewards waiting at the end of the day for whoever is brave
enough to take on the quest. So strap on your rucksack, grab your hiking boots,
and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime. These stories are waiting for
you! Additional details about the book @ brothersscoutingjourney.org
