On a Thursday afternoon last month, a group of scouts from Scout Troop 223 visited the Gooding Christie’s Classic Car Auctions in Santa Monica to have their Career Trip.
These scouts, Christian, Ari, Phineas, Alex, Braden, Owen, and Noah arrived at the office. Once they were in the conference room, they were greeted by Morgan Carter, the VP of the company.
As the Patrol Leader of the scouts, I gave Mr. Carter two purple ribbons with pins on them. The purple ribbons in Troop 223 are called Mother’s Ribbons and are given to the scout’s mother. Morgan Carter and his brother are both Eagle Scouts, so his mother had two ribbons, but unfortunately, they were lost in the Palisades Fire.
The scouts in Troop 223 are divided into patrols. This patrol is the Falcons patrol, and Morgan also happened to have been in the same patrol when he was in Troop 223. In the conference room, Morgan Carter talked about his career. He stated he was made CFO of the company right out of college because of the leadership skills he learned in Troop 223. He later became the VP of the company.
After that, the group headed through the office, looking at the different rooms. Then, Morgan led the excited boys to the car room. There were two vintage Mercedes, an Aston Martin, and a 113-year-old Mercer. Morgan answered many questions about the cars.
Since I am the Patrol Leader of the Falcons, I organized the Career Trip with emails and coordinated with the scouts’ parents. Troop 223 offers an exceptional leadership program for the patrol leaders, equipping them with valuable leadership skills, including budgeting with real money, managing patrol expenses, organization, planning, communication, and leading a group of boys.
