T
he Los Angeles Area Council Boy Scouts has named the Boy
Scouts of America National President Dr. Robert M. Gates,
former Secretary of Defense, former Director of Central
Intelligence and published author of DUTY as the 8th Annual Business Leaders’ Breakfast “2015 Leader of the Year”.
“The Boy Scouts of America had a profound influence on my childhood
and helped form the foundation of my career in public service. I’ve had
tremendous opportunities in my life, but I can say without hesitation that
my memories of Scouting are every bit as vivid and meaningful as what
came later. I believe every boy deserves an opportunity to experience what
Scouting offers,” said Dr. Gates. “Scouting teaches youth how to set and
achieve goals, develops a deep commitment to serve others, and creates
leaders for tomorrow who are not only prepared to serve their communities, but also prepared for life and leadership. Just as it did for me.
