Past Speaker Profile:  David C. Scott, Speaker, Author, Presenter

David C. Scott spoke to us about his new book about one of history's greatest presidents, Theodore Roosevelt, and his high ideals of honor and duty in his new book, We are Americans, We are Scouts.

Mr Scott wove a story about President Roosevelt's take on Rotary and many humorous tales about life in the Roosevelt White House. It seems the Roosevelt's were quite a lively bunch, with the kids causing quite a commotion, and the President being just another kid at times. I personally enjoyed learning that President Roosevelt would take hikes by picking a point and hiking in a straight line until he reached the point going through or over any and all obstacles in the way. 

David C. Scott is an avid student of the emerging worldwide Scouting Movement in the twentieth century. A graduate of Vanderbilt University and Southern Methodist University, Mr. Scott has entertained audiences nationwide through his inspirations and motivational keynote talks and presentations to national patriotic and fraternal groups, Scouting, and youth groups.
