Powerful Musical Tribute Shows the Lasting Impact of a Quality Leader

Posted on February 18, 2015 by Bryan Wendell

It doesn’t take much for a Scout leader to have a profound impact on the life of a young person.

Put another way: “The smallest gesture can spark a life.”

In the case of Cub Scout leader and Nashville singer-songwriter Dean Madonia, that leader was a Scoutmaster named Ernest.

Ernest was so special to Madonia that the musician was inspired to write a moving song about the man.  It’s called “Doesn’t Take Much Light (To Shine in the Dark).”

Watch the song performed by David G Smith below. It’s a reminder that the impact of a quality Scout leader can last a lifetime.
