| Category: | Holidays |

In the next few days, Muslims around the world will be observing Ramadan and celebrating Eid al-Fitr - a season of fasting, prayer, and charity. Fasting builds self-control, and giving to others reminds us to be grateful and generous.
Scouts practice similar habits: we learn to put others first, to control our actions, and to serve with cheerful hearts. A Scout is reverent - faithful in their duties and respectful of the beliefs of others.
Whether or not we are fasting, we can all choose self-discipline and service today: hold the door, share a kind word, or lend a hand. That's how our light shines for others.
