For the Good of the Program: A Century of Middle Tennessee Scouting at Boxwell, 1921-2021 examines the history of Scouting in the middle Tennessee area over the last one hundred years.

Author Grady Eades argues that as society and Scouting have changed, so too has the summer camp program offered by the local Scout Council. In its earliest days, summer camp was a democratic training ground, building citizens from youth. Over the following decades, camp program reflected changing values in American society, from an emphasis on fatherhood and family in the 1950s to a stress on individual achievement by the 1980s.

For the Good of the Program utilizes newspaper articles and hours of personal interviews, as well as the Council's own records. It includes some big fish stories from former camp staff and explores some necessary rabbit holes, such as how the Council handled segregation and homosexuality both at the camp and in policy. It is the first book written on the history of the Boy Scouts' summer camp program in Tennessee and the second on the history of middle Tennessee Scouting in general.  The paperback edition contains black and white photos.

As a young child, Anthony Daniels dreamed of becoming a professional hockey player.

He was on track to becoming a professional athlete, till one day a freak car accident ended his hockey career. He was accepted to Fordham University to study business and pre-law, when Anthony developed an itch starting at his toes that quickly moved up his body. Following several tests, Anthony was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

Despite his prognosis, Anthony fought his cancer into remission twice within two years. Anthony was born an athlete, not competing was unacceptable for him. Anthony was introduced to boxing. Something he never thought he could do while battling cancer. Not soon after, Anthony found himself at a boxing gym, training as an athlete again. When his cancer returned for the third and even fourth time, Anthony never gave up. Following high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment that would have anyone in bed for days, Anthony would train for several hours at the boxing gym. In 2018, while battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma for the fifth time, Anthony was also diagnosed with brain cancer.

His credit of surviving cancer over five times was based on his strength and endurance. There is no cure for Anthony, and he is ready to tell people his story. In The Fight, Anthony’s message is clear; make the decision to never give up, choose to be strong, and find your purpose despite your circumstances.

Obstacles, setbacks and change are a natural part of life. As the fifth overall pick in the first round of the Major League Baseball Draft and the first high school player drafted that year, John Patterson stepped right into the plan he created for himself.

Injuries and setbacks turned into the loss of John’s baseball career resulting in depression, anxiety and addiction. Failure isn’t what holds you back. Believing you can never recover is. Despite the loss of his dream, John’s journey through Perspective, Perception and Perseverance changed his failures into a new future. Navigating life’s challenges can be difficult, but through his life lessons you will find the courage to understand and use your own challenges as fuel to build a better life.
