22 Nov. 2021 – Scout Law – best

22 Nov. 2021

A Scout is …

Of the 12 points in the Scout Law, which one is the most important?

Ask Ella and some of the Life Scouts

Why?

Which is the least important? Why?

Do we need to be perfect in all of them? Why?

Are there any we can ignore? Why?

We’re all at different steps in our journey. And I’m not talking about rank advancement. Who we are: our genetics, Character and Beliefs, Personality, Preferences, and experiences ensure that each of us is in a different place on the climb of growth for each point of the scout law. 

Trustworthy – We have to be tested in the fire, especially for this one. 

Friendly – You’ve probably noticed that I still struggle with this one. 

Reverent – Given a broad basis in youth. Challenged, meet my soulmate in church. Brother is the opposite. 

Why does this matter. We’re all Eagle Scouts, doing our best, pushing beyond our comfort zone. In this regard, there isn’t a right answer and we should value our differences and not judge ourselves against others. 

You’re a very high performing group of individuals, keep doing your best and working on the Scout Law. It’s a lifelong journey.
