Summary: Inspiration for Eagle Scout
Review: First saw the movie with my dad in 1966. After the movie, we talked about Boy Scouting and the wonderful time that he had.Of all the things that I remember as a boy, this one really stands out. After the movie at home, Dad opened his dresser drawer and pulled out a small black box. Inside was his Eagle medal and a letter he wrote prior to his court of honor. I remember when things got tough in scouts, opening that drawer and looking at the medal and realizing that I can achieve Eagle. I made Eagle in 1976 and my Dad pinned his medal on me. I still have the medal and look at it regularly. By the way, my son is a Star scout today and I hope to have 3 generations of Eagles available when he finishes. Can still sing "Follow Me Boys" and drive the Scouters crazy! By the way "I use to be a bobwhite..."

Summary: NOT JUST A SCOUTING PRIMER
Review: Follow Me Boys A Disney classic, Follow Me, Boys! is much more than a scouting primer. Wonderful performances by some Hollywood greats include Fred MacMurray as Lemuel Siddons, the band member and would-be lawyer turned shopkeeper and scoutmaster, Vera Miles as Vida Downey, the bank secretary turned McMurray supporter, love interest and wife, Kurt Russell in one of his first films as Whitey, the small time boy thug who, losing his drunkard dad, is adopted by Lem and Vida, becomes a stalwart in the troop and goes on to become responsible soldier and MD. Finally there's a wonderful cameo by a screen legend, Lillian Gish as the aged business magnate and McMurray benefactor Hetty Seibert. The film includes wonderful scenes from the boys building a ramshackle troop clubhouse out of odds and ends to a later troop taking a war-games tank with flour-bag explosives in what the boys think is an all-out war. If you're looking for deep statements about teen angst (though Russell's character does tackle some pretty difficult stuff), tough kids struggling to beat a drug habit or premarital sex you won't find it here. And thank goodness! Every once in a while it's good to watch a movie that's as squeaky clean as Fred McMurray's white shirts. Want blatant hardcore reality? Watch the six o'clock news. Follow Me, Boys! depicts what can happen when adults care, is just good clean fun, and well-acted and scripted. A great addition to any film library. Douglas McAllister

Summary: Call yourself a scouter? Then why haven't you seen it yet?
Review: For every human hobby, there will eventually be made a film. For fighter pilots, there's "Top Gun." For pee-wee hockey players, there's "The Mighty Ducks." For Boy Scouts, there's "Follow Me, Boys!" Of course you can appreciate and enjoy this movie if you're not a scout or scouter, but let's not fool ourselves about the intended audience here. -- This film is the epitome of old-school Boy Scouting. Every traditionalist Scouter pines for the days when the boys didn't have to be back from the campout early for soccer practice. Every new scoutmaster wants to be the square-jawed, campaign hat-wearing, all-American scoutmaster of Norman Rockwell paintings. You'll never pull it off if you haven't seen this film. In "Follow Me Boys!" Fred Macmurray goes from reluctant scoutmaster to super-scoutmaster, teaching boys to be men, year after year. His boys actually sing. They sing! What traditionalist scoutmaster hasn't given up years ago trying to get the boys to sing around the campfire or on the trail? The Scout program of "Follow me, boys!" is the antidote to the 1980's scouting movement that gave us nasty-colored patches and ball caps. It's the bridge between the scouts of today, and the scouts of 97 years ago. If you ever want to be a great scouter, see this film, and read up on Baden-Powell. Make sure your boys know what he did at Mafeking. Make sure they know that their uniforms are based on the South African Constabulary. Make sure they stand up straight when they recite the Oath and Law. Get them off the trail occasionally. Get them to sing, loud and proud. But you'll have to see "Follow me, Boys!" I don't know if it will work on the boys anymore, but it worked on me when I was a Tenderfoot.

Summary: Heart-warmer
Review: I first saw FOLLOW ME, BOYS on The Disney Channel about fifteen years ago and have looked forward to seeing it again. I initially watched it out of a sense of Duty -- as an admirer of the art of Walt Disney. I was anything but a Boy Scout and expected the film to be syrupy and nauseating, but was surprised to find FOLLOW ME, BOYS to be one of Uncle Walt's warmest and most genuinely sentimental works. The film shares a compelling spirit of real goodness and positive idealism with such Walt Disney classics as POLLYANNA, THOSE CALLOWAYS and OLD YELLER, along with much of their quality and entertainment value. Fred MacMurray is in his element here, giving one of his best performances. The Disney Company should certainly be including widescreen alternates on their DVDs but I was not going to miss this moving film for anything.

Summary: See it with Scouters!
Review: I first saw this movie in 2003 when I was serving on staff for a Scoutmaster training course. We showed the movie in a cabin at Broadcreek Memorial Scout Reservation during a training weekend. We had about 20 Scoutmasters and assistant Scoutmasters in one room watching this film. It was probably the best indoor scouting experience I ever had! The film takes place during a different time, but every one of the people in that room could relate to something in the film. We had a great time watching, and commenting, on the action in the film. If you are involved with scouting, try to watch this film with the boys, leaders, and families of your troop. I guarantee that you will be glad that you did. --- "I used to be a buffalo..."

Review: I first saw this movie in the theater in 1966. It was rated as "too hokey and sugar sweet". At that time, as a high school student, I was compelled to write a letter to the local newspaper in defense of this wholesome and inspiring movie. I have been searching for a copy for the past 16 years since my son joined scouting. Today, at last, I am a proud owner of this terrific, inspirational film. The quality of both sound and picture is terrific, and it is refreshing to remember a world where people cared for and loved one another. It is also a great testimonial to the spirit of scounting. This is a must have for your collection!
