Credit Where Due

| Notes: | Being trustworthy means giving others credit and taking responsibility for your own mistakes. |
There are two tests of trustworthiness that show who you really are: what you do when someone else deserves credit, and what you do when you deserve blame.
It's easy to accept praise when things go right, even if others helped make it happen. It's equally easy to point fingers when things go wrong, even if you're partly at fault. But a Scout is trustworthy, and that means we tell the truth about both success and failure.
When your patrol wins a competition, do you mention the teammates who helped? When a project fails, do you own your part in it? The answers to those questions tell people whether they can trust you - not just with tasks, but with the truth itself. And that's the kind of Scout others want on their team.
