Since 1938, Madison Scouts alums have had a unique connection that cannot exist the same way in any other corps.  They know it as ‘The Brotherhood’.  It is a special connection that bonds Scouts together, whether they marched in the 1930’s, the 1950’s, the 1970’s, the 1990’s, or today.  Yes much is different in every era of our history, but there is still that underlying pulse, that heartbeat we call ‘The Brotherhood’.

 A ‘brotherhood’ is a state of inclusion and commonality.  It is an association we freely join, a kinship we aspire to, a fellowship that spans the ages and makes us a part of something bigger than just a collection of people with a common experience.  We are united physically, emotionally, spiritually and eternally.

That young man who first picked up a horn in 1938 shared many of the same fears, doubts, exhilarations and elations as that new member in 2006.  It is our ancestry, our history and our legacy.

You now have a special way to share in the brotherhood with today’s members.  It is called Adopt-A-Scout, and here is how it works.

For $100, you can adopt a member of the 2006 corps.  He will write you three letters during spring camps and the season, sharing his experiences.  You will also become a stockholder of the ‘Primal Forces’, the Madison Scouts 2006 show.

If you prefer, you can also adopt a staff member ($150) or Sal Salas, the corps director ($250).

To get involved in this program, go to our Adopt-A-Scout section.

Make sure your 2006 brothers Never Walk Alone.
