DESCRIPTION:
One of Malone’s major contributions in this book is his discovery that the community service project requirement for the Eagle rank has resulted in the great youth service initiative in history: more than 100 million hours devoted to improving the nation’s communities and neighborhoods.Filled with vivid historic anecdotes, compelling profiles, and surprising facts, Malone has brought to Four Percent the eye of a world-class writer, the insider experience of being an Eagle Scout himself, and the objectivity of a career journalist, to produce the best book ever about America’s Eagles – and perhaps even about Boy Scouting itself.ENDORSEMENTS:"FOUR PERCENT is the best, and most honest, book ever written about the Boy Scouts of America."- Tom Hayes, The Huffington Post.
