The Singing Scoutmaster: Living By The Scout Law

What does it mean to be a good person. What does it mean to be a good Scout? Listen to these simple examples of things we might do on any given day:

1. telling the truth
2. sticking up for the kid being picked on
3. handing out papers for the teacher
4. letting everyone play a game
5. saying thank you to the clerk at a store
6. helping a kid that dropped his books instead of laughing at him
7. playing fair to have fun rather than to win no matter what
8. looking for a little fun in every job we have to do
9. using our boring old cellphone for another year because it still works
10. asking our buddies to not use bad language around us
11. listening to music that doesn't promote hate, violence, and other trash
12. taking some time to appreciate and be thankful for all we have

Those twelve ways were a simple example of each of the twelve points in the Scout Law.

Being a good person by obeying the Scout Law is something we can do in all kinds of worthwhile and simple ways.
