| What
the Scout / Guide Law means to a Scout / Guide |
|
|
| TRUSTWORTHY |
The
badge of honesty. Having it lets you look at any man in the eye.
Lacking it he won't look back. Keep this one at the top of your
list. |
| LOYAL |
The
Very word is life itself, for without loyalty we have no love of
person or country. |
| HELPFUL |
Part
sharing, part caring. By helping each other, we help ourselves,
not to mention mankind. Be always full of help -- the dying man's
last words. |
| FRIENDLY |
Brotherhood
is part of that word. You can take it in a lot of directions - and
do - but make sure and start with brotherhood. |
| COURTEOUS |
Allow
each person his human dignity which means a lot more than saying,
"yes ma'am" and "thank you sir". It reflects
an attitude that later in life you wish you had honored more...
earlier in life. Save yourself that problem. Do it now. |
| KIND |
This
one word would stop wars and erase hatreds. Bit its like your
bicycle, its just no good unless you get out ad use it. |
| OBEDIENT |
Starts
at home. Practice it in your family. Enlarge it in your friends.
Share it with humanity. |
| CHEERFUL |
Anyone
can put on a happy face when the going is good. The secret is to
wear it as a mask for your problems. It might surprise you how
many others do the same thing. |
| THRIFTY |
Means
a lot more than putting pennies away, and it is the opposite of
cheap. Common sense covers it just about as well as anything. |
| BRAVE |
You
don't have to fight to be brave. Millions of good, fine, decent
folks show more bravery that heavyweight champs just by getting
out of bed every morning, going out to do a good day's work and
living the best life they know how against the law of odds. Keep
the word handy every day of your life. |
| CLEAN |
Soap
and waters help a lot on the outside. But it is the inside that
counts and don't ever forget it. |
| REVERENT |
Believe
in anything that you want to believe in, but keep God at the top
of it. With Him, life can be a beautiful experience. Without Him,
you are just biding time. |
