Driver Ed in a Box Supports the Boy Scouts
On Monday, August 30th, Driver Ed in a Box® once again made a donation to the Boy Scouts of America at their Sam Houston Area Council in Houston, Texas.

Patrick Barrett, former Scouter, and President of Driver Ed in a Box® (http://www.driveredinabox.com), the course that guarantees new drivers that their first year of driving is collision-free, said:
“We love to contribute to the Boy Scouts. This specific donation was directed to the Scout’s Wood Badge program – one of the highest levels of training the Boy Scouts offer to their adult leaders.”
The famous, or infamous, Fox Patrol of the Wood Badge class SR 356 is pictured here (Mr. Barrett is holding the patrol flag).
The Boy Scouts are celebrating their 100th year and Mr. Barrett recommends that any parent who wants to see their son or daughter blossom into a responsible adult consider joining scouting.
“All three of my sons went through scouting. It’s a great experience for both the young people and the parents.”
Scouting also provides the parents the opportunity to participate as a volunteer. Mr. Barrett and his wife, Frances, invested decades volunteering for various scouting programs and Mr. Barrett said “It still amazes me how much my wife and I benefitted from being involved as Scout leaders. We joined initially to help out the Pack for our son and then we continued to volunteer even after the boys were no longer in scouting.”
Baden Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts, once said that scouting is “a game with a purpose.” When Patrick Barrett created and developed Driver Ed in a Box® (http://www.driveredinabox.com) he included a lot from his scouting experiences.
Parents interested in getting their young ones into scouting can contact their local Boy Scout council.
