I was a "troubled teen", my mother died when I was 12, I lived with my father and my brother. Since I was a kid (until 24years old) I started to attend the scout group of my town. In Italy our scout's movement aren't like in Usa: we have more educators who, starting from every youth problem, can help teens to make right choices in their lifes. The juvenile court can send a youth in a scout group, so, in my group there are more youth who send there from CPS. Every educator was ever open to talk to you and help you; we have the cellphone numbers of all educators for call they in all time. There was meeting avery weekend, two weeks a month there was "sleepover", 15 days camp in winter and 15or more days camp in summer. The rules was no verbal abuse, no smoke, no alchool, no violence, no coffeine and sugar. At that time I was closed in myself, rebel, hungry. But throught activity like hiking, solo's experiences, group session and much more activity and fun games, my life changed. In that group I had finded more of my best friends and I've find more adult people that can had helped us! They had teached us some values like respect autority, respect other youths, compassion, self esteem, trust... At 24 years old I make volunter in scout's group of kids 8-11 years old. Now, sometimes I feel the need of wilderness, camp, group session, so, sometimes I take a part in some scout camp, for to get away from everyday life, that bored me. I'm very gratefull to all those person that helped me and other youths, and continue this wonderfull work with kids, youths and young adults.

This year we lost a very special student and friend, Angel Anthony 17, because she was not wearing a seat belt during a car accident. You campaign touched my students like I have never seen before. Thanks to you they are now energized to spread Angel's story and hopefully help save a life by encouraging others to wear their seat belts. Myself and my students at SCHS send you a heartfelt thank you for posting this site, inspiring us and allowing my us to have the opportunity to share Angel's story with others. We all agreed that even Angel would have appreciated the efforts you are making to help save a life.
