"We have a values deficit, and we have a skills deficit."

It's not about you! First, duty to God and country. Second, duty to others. Third, duty to yourself. Self-reliance. STEM skills. Servant leaders. You were put here for a purpose: fill the values gap, fill the skills gap. Gerard Vanderleun brings us a speech given by Rex Tillerson in October.

Gerard also brings us Tillerson's oath:

"I Rex Tillerson
reaffirm my allegiance
to the three promises of the Scout Oath.

I will do my best to do my duty to God
And my country and to obey the Scout Law.
I will help other people at all times
And keep myself physically strong,
Mentally awake, and morally straight.

I thoughtfully recognize and take upon myself
The obligations and responsibilities
Of the rank of Eagle Scout.
I will at all times do my best
To assist other Scouts climbing the Eagle Trail,
Especially those of my own Troop, Team an Post.

I will help build America on the solid foundation
Of clean living, honest work and reverence to God.
I promise to make my training and example,
My rank and my influence
Count strongly for better Scouting
And for better citizenship in my family,
Church, community and country
And with my contacts with all people.

I realize that the Eagle rank
Is not the end but the beginning
To this I pledge my sacred honor!"
