The Singing Scoutmaster: Good Wood

Before beginning a new construction, a carpenter picks out the best available materials. The wooden boards he selects are the most straight and sound he can find. The quality of his building materials contribute to the quality of his finished product.

Likewise, our character is the material we're using to build our future life. Ten to twenty years from now, we as well as others will begin to see what we've built. The question is, are the boards we're selecting straight or is the wood warped?

Building good character is a central purpose of the Boy Scouts of America.
