Me First!: A Modern Day Fable about Service, Scouting, and Self-Esteem Kindle Edition
Me First! was written by two brothers, one who recently achieved the rank of Eagle Scout and the other who currently is working on his Eagle Scout project. As the boys were born and raised in West Virginia, images of Appalachia are evident throughout the story, along with symbols representing the principles of scouting. Me First! is an excellent gift for young girls and boys (ages 5 to 9) who are starting their own scouting journeys. Parents, teachers, church volunteers, and scout leaders will enjoy the included “Search and Find" activity where children look for scouting images hidden in the beautiful illustrations. Within this colorful and humorous fable is a touching message about values, particularly the importance of serving others.

I learned more about scouting by reading Me First! and by studying the illustrations. I especially liked the golden glow Baden the eagle gained and that it was really an inner glow, as it was only visible when he saw his reflection in a puddle. Yet the community responded better to him when he was helpful and put others first - that was how his glow translated to them.
These young authors were able to take a simple concept and translate it into a delightful story that reached me spiritually and emotionally, and inspired me in my work with young people. I will share this book with young and old "kids," as it brings hope that good choices are possible and healthy interactions are just a choice away.

It's for children ages six to eight. I gave it four stars. There was a typo at "The School of the Woods" on the sign showing "All Are Welcome."
Baden was loud and disrespectful. He shoved everyone out of the way when Mama eagle brought food. When his sister fell into the water bowl and cried he mocked: "Me first. Back in line. Watch me shake my big behind!" This was repeated several times. Later he changed his tune.
My favorite little boy especially liked the picture of when the animals were hiding at the kick ball field.

that a Scout has to share and get along with others. This story line should be a common thread in all the various groups of Scouting.
