Every now and then we hear a Scout use the word can't: "I can't hike 15 miles," or "I can't tie that knot," etc. (Put up the Scout sign.) Please repeat after me, "On my honor I will do my best!" (Write the word "CAN'T" in big letters on a chalk or white board.) Does that word appear anywhere in the Scout Oath? (Erase the "'T".)
Anything we want to accomplish will be much easier if we start telling ourselves we can do it instead of using that other word. (Write a big "I" in front of the "CAN" and leave it there until the next meeting. The first thing they see the next time they walk in is the words "I CAN!")
