"Scott was the geography teacher and cross-country coach at Marjory Stoneman Douglas. He’s hailed a hero because he saved 31 of his students. And when he went to close the door behind him, he got shot, and he was murdered. The reason the fund was started was because of Scott’s love for camp."

"And especially here in Broward, we send children from Broward County, especially here, realizing that the sheriffs and the law enforcement that work here are really their friends, so that when they see these people, okay, they’re not afraid of them, they’re actually know that these people are there for them and their friends of theirs."

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Elisha Hoggard, Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches:
"So if I make a connection this week, it may very well be with someone that I will see in Publix two weeks later. And so that relationship expands into the community. They’re going to tell their friends, oh yeah, he’s cool, we can talk to him. So if there’s something they need to report, if they are having trouble in their community or at their school, they’re more likely to go to law enforcement for help because they’ve had that experience here at camp and know, okay, they’re not all what I think they are."

"I know that the memorial fund funds it and sends, you know, gives grants so that they can come. But selfishly, I get to be part of it, too. And as much as it’s hard to beg for, you know, beg for donations, this is what it’s all about. And this makes it all worth it. It makes everything we do during the year worthwhile."
