What is Scout Spirit?
"Your standing as a scout
does not depend so much on
the skills of your hands or
the badges on your merit badge
sash, as on the spirit in your heart,
on what you are willing to do
for others, on whether you are
doing your very best to live
the Scout Oath and Scout Law"
The Scout Law:
A Scout is Trustworthy
Loyal
Helpful
Friendly
Courteous
Kind
obedient
Cheerful
Thrifty
Brave
Clean
and Reverent

Once there was a boy walking along an ocean beach. The beach stretched for miles, literally as far as the eye could see. Everyday there were millions of starfish dying on the beach, creatures that had been washed up onto the beach by waves, but had no way of returning back into the water. The boy began picking up these small urchins, one by one, and returning them to the sea, thus assuring that they would live. An elderly man watching this performance, and as the boy continued along the beach, the man spoke to him. "Little boy, why are you doing this? Can't you see that there are millions of these starfish dying here in the sun? "What you are doing can't possibly make a difference." The boy looked at the man for a moment, and then reached down, picked up a starfish and returned it to the sea. "I made a difference to this one," he said.
In small ways, everyday, you can make a difference. Don't think about what can't be done; rather, focus on what you can do!
