It's a start for a lot of guys who had good college careers, but didn't have what the scouts were looking for. It's also exciting to be seeing a group of young men (rookies) at the start of their careers, and seeing what they can do. And for some it's a second chance as well.

His was a landscape of amiable codgers, nurturing moms, adorable dogs, callow soldiers with hearts of gold-grown-up Boy Scouts all.

National League

We have a long history and tradition with the Boy Scouts and we look forward to continuing that relationship. It's a win-win situation all the way around.

Chairon Isenia

When I was a boy, there wasn't too many after school activities out there, like the Boy Scouts. Now scouting competes with so many things. When I was really young, the socialization was the biggest thing I learned and later the leadership skills.

Dave Baltes

The Red Sox are a curious thing because so much here is media driven. You can't go fire half your scouts here because they are all friends with the local reporters. Your life is going to hell in the papers.

Bob Schneider

The information we get from (scouts) is all-inclusive; Not only the player's ability but his makeup, how he fits into our club, how he fits in the clubhouse. Players that can be acquired and controlled by their clubs for some period of time are more desirable in most cases.

Dean Taylor

I was pretty active in Cub Scouts.

Judith Bondus

The policy of the Boy Scouts of American with respect to homosexuals is contrary to the policy of the Board of Education.

Harold Levy

That last couple of months of high school were beyond belief. The phone calls, the scouts at the parks. Then all of a sudden you're in the Gulf Coast League. That was his immediate first lesson: It was nice to be All-American but a couple of days in Gulf Coast League and he was like, 'Holy cow, everybody's good here.' He figured out pretty quick to leave your ego at the park.

We are all products of the communities we live in. That's why giving back to the community is so important.

The community is so important, we should give back to it.

Jane Reed

[Scouts] think I'm a great person.

Leonard Davis

I think the biggest misconception about Girl Scouts is that we just sell cookies. A great amount of what we do is community service. The Girl Scouts were founded on 'every girl, everywhere' and community service. People don't realize that we are doing community projects all year long.

Joyce Elliott

Some of our retailers now do scouting based on GPS. The scouts have GPS backpacks on in the field so that they can mark the location of weed patches, make weed maps and do spot treatments.

Mark Roeder

He's a guy that, over the years, our scouts have liked a lot. He's been in our organization at the minor league level and his development's improved every year. He's somebody that can compete for a job out of training camp or be a good call-up for us. He's a big guy that can move around and add a little bit of toughness.

Michael Kaufman

My phone has been ringing off the hook, family and friends, you get calls from scouts from teams you didn't even know were interested. It's been pretty busy, but I've been mostly just trying to relax. The past two weeks I've been traveling and meeting with teams. I'm just relaxing back here now.

Brent Hawkins

One of the scouts from Arkansas A&M came to the game and gave Clay $10. He didn't give me any money, so I got mad. So I ended up going to Southern.

Roger Theder

The scouts stayed for the whole game. That is unusual.

Randy Abshier

The board is confusing public benefits with private property owners' rights and they will find out they will have to compensate the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts for that. This will be decided in circuit court and that's the sad part.

This is part of the Venture Scouting program for older kids. The Scouts run the program. The adults are there to give them guidelines and resources. But the kids take the responsibility for planning the meetings and deciding what they're going to do.

Tim Weber

Girl Scouts is a learning experience. We're trying to show the girls that they should learn to do for others and not themselves.

Janice Jensen

They don't anticipate increasing the number of campers. The camp is mainly used in the summer and it is a camp for Girl Scouts. There won't be any change in the use.

Jackie Tallon

I would find it very hard to predict the outcome. I know it's going to be a close issue. And that uncertainty can't be sitting well with the leadership of the Scouts.

Robert O'neil

I wanted those Boy Scout records because they tell me what merit badges my boys have earned and what badges they are working on. I have a few boys who have almost reached the highest level, Eagle Scouts. They need their records to advance and I would hate to lose them.

Boy Scout

This represents the best of girl scouting. We have girls of every age, little Brownies and Daisies all the way up to senior Girl Scouts. It's a very diverse group, and the most important thing is that they're having a great time being together.

Marty Evans

The statute treats the Boy Scouts and the 4H Club and the church identically. Any organization that was overseeing children is subject to the law.

Marci Hamilton

Without a meaningful challenge, older scouts will find other things to occupy their time. There are a lot of things for them to do besides scouting. They are too valuable a resource for us to ignore.

Fred Shermock

I expect a solid performance across the board. A lot of scouts want to see how I run. That's the biggest thing. They have me around 4.7, so if I come out there and run a 4.5, I should be able to rest my case and answer my critics.

D'qwell Jackson

Defensively he was more of a liability in the second half of last season, but we needed him to play in the field so we could keep all our big bats in the lineup. He thought his defense was the reason he wasn't drafted. Pro scouts - they don't just go after bats.

Joe Urso

The pro scouts are still pretty interested. The process he's going through right now, he has a school (where), if he doesn't get drafted where he wants to get drafted, he has somewhere to fall back and get an education.

Steve Bucci

She'll be able to play in college, ... and that was her goal. We weren't sure last year, but someone's (college scouts) going to need to get her this year.

Catherine Young

Dad suggested we join at an early age. We liked the Scouts so much we ended up staying.

Chris Quinn

He has all the tools scouts love. You can give him great grades on a report card and look great because everyone can see the talent. He has an awful lot of talent, a lot of potential, but he has never gotten it done consistently. Maybe this time it will be different because the Padres have a lot at stake when they make a final decision on him.

National League

Cub Scouts is about patriotism and citizenship, ... This is a great example of that.

Cindy Morris

I would hate to see us discriminate against a wholesome and worthwhile group for boys. Most of the elementary age scouts don't even know what homosexuality and/or atheism is and, if they do, they don't care.

Mary House

18 Hours on the Farm - Scouts' Honor.

Bob Anderson

I'm just trying to go to as many showcase games as possible to show the scouts what I can do.

Jeff Rodgers

I just thought it was time to get one going for the girls. We're trying to get some scouts to come in and see these girls. I just wanted to get exposure for the area.

Jason Place

He's the one all the scouts want to see right now. Everyone is talking about this guy.

Michael Wilbon

The scouts want to see if I'm quick enough and can run as fast as a receiver. They're watching me to see if I can do what a receiver can do.

Anthony Mix

I think it would be standing room only. I would think a lot of people, a lot of scouts, would want to see that game, just interested in how it would turn out. I mean, a lot of people think that we could beat them, a lot of people think we don't belong on the court with them. So I would love to play them.

Derek Dennis

That had a lot to do with it. They'll have NFL scouts looking at me more and they play more games on TV and against better opponents.

Kerry Maddox

You're still playing to maybe get a call-up to the big leagues. Or it might mean you're coming back to our organization next year or there might be scouts in the stands from other organizations.

Dennis Shaver

Being in the army is like being in the Boy Scouts, except that the Boy Scouts have adult supervision.

Blake Clark

This is an Eagle project for one of the Scouts, ... The goal is to show leadership and also it has got to benefit the community.

Gary Brown

Justin is the top-rated talent. That doesn't mean he'll be the No. 1 pick. Arizona is looking at four players — Justin and three college pitchers. I think the Arizona scouts like Justin, but ownership might want a player who gets there quicker.

Allan Simpson

We don't have enough room for evening aerobics, because the Scouts are using that space at night.

Paul Versnik

Then memorize it, practice it, personalize it and then you can easily customize it for success, ... The Boy Scouts have it right: Be prepared - always.

Steve Walsh

In the Scouts, we learn a lot about construction. The entire troop will probably help out because we usually pitch in on one another's projects. Even the Scout graduates come in if we need them.

Chris Quinn

A scout from California with the Texas Rangers said, 'Who's that kid? I said, 'He's a high school kid.' I didn't tell him he was my son. ... Other scouts said, 'You know how to evaluate everybody else but your own kid.

Tom Kotchman

The first game he pitched this year, I had 20 scouts out here looking at (Beno). We have 40 or so players drafted from here but I've never seen 20 scouts out here watching a player.

Cooper Farris

The critical question in this case seems to be whether the 'duty to God' in the Boy Scout oath makes the Scouts a religious organization.

Robert O'neil

I wanted to show the NBA scouts what I could do. That's my dream, to play in the NBA. That's always been my dream.

Joe Coco

The more scouts that are here, the better he pitches.

Tony Rasmus

Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4-H. It?s for anyone who wants to teach kids and use this range.

It's still ongoing, so I don't have a number for you. But there have been a fair amount of scouts fired or reassigned on the amateur side.

Jim Duquette

I was never a Boy Scout, but oh, I wanted to be one when I was a kid about ten or eleven years old. But there wasn't anyplace where I could ever join the Boy Scouts.

Carl Barks

Everyone is aware of [the issue of Web-shopping at work], but very few companies are doing anything about it. The legal scouts have not sent back much useful information on the right to privacy.

Michael Kelly

This is a great opportunity for both our organization and for Nils. He is deserving of a chance to contribute and scouts have been following his progress for some time. Now, it's up to him to seize this opportunity and make the most of it.

Wayne Thomas

There have been anywhere from 50 to 60 scouts watching us every day in practice. We've even had to go through some written tests and things like that. They want to know as much as they can about you.

Martin Hicks

After it closed in 1940, the Boy Scouts and the 4H used it for meetings, and then all of the sudden, there was no 4H.

Bud Hawley

She's really an outstanding defender. She plays great defense but the coaches and scouts, they all spoke to the fact that they were really impressed with the way she handles the ball and runs the court.

Brad Warze

There could be Bills coaches there watching the game or Bills scouts watching the game, so that's a good perk for the guys as well.

Dave Belknap

I said to the scouts I was standing with that Ryan would play at the highest level. He was like a ballet dancer when I saw him and I knew we had to get him.

Eric Harrison

I know Kurtis is going to generate some interest (from scouts) this year, and he needs to be able to handle that mentally. It's a challenge, but I think he's up to it.

Eric Albright

My own eyes are no more than scouts on a preliminary search, for the camera's eye may entirely change my idea.

Edward Weston

From what we hear, the Scouts have been making a good deal of progress on doing that.

Ed Yohnka

There wasn't really litigation threatened. We sent them (the Scouts) a letter saying that we'd noticed the number of these arrangements with government agencies and we were concerned. And they've responded by informing us they will go ahead and alter those arrangements on their own.

Ed Yohnka
