No other youth group like the Scouts has trained so many future leaders while at the same time being a nature organization with its outdoor focus.

Our kids are actually doing what we told them to do when they sit in front of that TV all day or in front of that computer game all day. The society is telling kids unconsciously that nature's in the past. It really doesn't count anymore, that the future is in electronics, and besides, the bogeyman is in the woods.

These days, unplugged places are getting hard to find.

When you're sitting in front of a screen, you're not using all of your senses at the same time. Nowhere than in nature do kids use their senses in such a stimulated way.

My mother worked in advertising and my father was a journalist. But they split up when I was three and I grew up in a single-parent family. My mum brought my brother and I up.

I enjoy being with my family and hunting with my children.

Being from Oakland, you see a lot of thing. You see friends turn on friends all the time. You see family turn on family.

When you work on a Dick Wolf show, it's as if you've joined a second family.
