Apollo 11: One Small Step
On July 20, 1969, millions watched as Neil Armstrong stepped onto the surface of the moon. His words-"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"-echoed across the globe.
Apollo 11 was the result of years of work by thousands of people: scientists, engineers, pilots, planners, and dreamers. They had to solve problems no one had ever faced. And they did it with teamwork, courage, and focus.
Armstrong walked. Aldrin followed. And Michael Collins, orbiting above, made sure they got home.
As Scouts, we learn that big dreams are built on small steps-training, planning, working together, and daring to try. The moon landing wasn't magic. It was mission.
