Keynote speaker: Dr. Matthew Bentz is an Emergency Medicine resident in Des Moines, an Eagle Scout, and a former member of Troop 108 in Humboldt. A lifelong believer in servant leadership, Matthew credits his upbringing in Scouting for the discipline and resilience he brings to the ER every day. In his keynote, From Blue Cards to Code Blue, Dr. Bentz examines why "doing" is the most essential part of learning. He reflects on how the merit badge system builds a mindset of lifelong learning. Shifting the focus from mere participation to the practical application of new skills. For Matthew, the value of Scouting isn't found in a signature in a book, but in the ability to turn a once unknown topic into an actionable skill when it matters most.
