Each year, as part of the Boy Scouts of America congressional charter, the BSA presents the Report to the Nation to the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, congressional leadership, and other top government officials. To culminate the presentation, Nicholas Cobb (2014) from Texas was one of six Scouts selected to present the report to the President of the United States on Thursday, December 12, 2012, in the Oval Office. In 2009, he started his own non-profit, ‘Comfort and Joy,’ dedicated to helping the homeless. Here is a photo of Nicholas and President Obama!
