When parents of LDS Scouts Church wide finally learn that Scouting and learning your Duty to God are ETERNALLY connected, our Scouting program will angelically change for the better. Parents will get more involved. Better leaders will be asked to serve. Scouts will take it more seriously while realizing that Scouting is also fun.
Below is a conversation on Facebook after sharing this video with one of my parents who has two sons one of which is an Eagle Scout. I totally understand that being a parent can be overwhelming. The amount of CRAP kids have to do these days makes my head spin. My daughter this year after rededicating herself to her grades spends countless hours studying. I get it. Parenting doesn't pay enough. We just have to find the Good, Better, Best and make sure we are getting and making the most bang for our buck! Learning our personally duty to God is on of those ways.
What advice do you have for this parent?

What stands out to me is the statement that they all are equally important. Are they really equal, or would it be more accurate to say that they are all good? I think you are right that these things need to be viewed on an eternal perspective when determining what is really important (good, better, best, as you said). I also like that you put that responsibility to decide on the shoukders of the boy.
