Please, Thank You, You're Welcome

"Please" recognizes that you're asking for help, not demanding it. "Thank you" acknowledges the effort someone made on your behalf. "You're welcome" accepts gratitude graciously and completes the circle of respect.
These three little phrases cost nothing, take almost no time, and yet they transform interactions. Without them, even simple exchanges can feel rude or transactional. With them, you show that you see the other person's humanity and you value their help.
A Scout is courteous, and that starts with the basics. When you say please, thank you, and you're welcome consistently, you're not just being polite - you're building a habit of treating people with respect. And those small habits add up to a reputation as someone others want to help and be around.
