About us
Scout Spirit
But the real way to get happiness is by giving out happiness to other people. Try to leave this world a little better than you found it and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best. "Be prepared" in this way, to live happy and to die happy - stick to your Scout Promise always - even after you have ceased to be a boy - and God help you to do it.

I have applied ICSP (*1) in 1972, which Boy Scout of America invites scout leaders from other countries. Fortunately I have passed the interview and could take a great chance to visit USA.
I have spent interesting time with boys from Detroit area council, such as teaching Japanese games and songs. I was the only Japanese among 1,200 boys throughout six weeks, and I was not fluent in English. However I have found myself being much positive than before.
This great experience influenced my life, resulted to have me hired by IBM, United States based company. And luckily I got an assignment working in Houston, Texas for two years with my family. This picture is I have invited local middle school students to IBM office in Houston.
This program is so called "Project Business", letting children to experience what companies are doing. I am so grateful how United States influenced my life. And I wanted to contribute back to them when I became adult. This spirit is my basis of life, and I would like to continue supporting
boy scout movements in Japan.
