I'm sure all of you Scouts have played team sports, so you know what teamwork means. Most football fans see a touchdown run and say, "Wow! Isn't that guy a great runner?" Maybe he is, but if you have played football you know that what really made that great run was the blockers on the line and downfield. Teamwork made the touchdown, not just one guy's talent.
The secret of patrol teamwork is having every member do his job, whatever it is. If one Scout goofs off, the patrol suffers. If every Scout does his part, the patrol is bound to be a winner.
The winning attitude is what we call patrol spirit. Is your patrol a winner? I'm not asking whether you win every contest. I'm asking: Is your patrol doing the very best it can, and is every member contributing?
If your answer is no, then ask yourself: "Am I doing my very best? Do I have real patrol spirit?"
