Scouting Today – August 2025

August 2025: In this episode, Bob Confer interviews Jim McMullen, who has recently retired after nearly 40 years of employment with Scouting America, all in Western NY. In this interview, he talks about his years as a youth in the program, his Scouting career, the future of Scouting, the value of Scouting, and leadership principles.
