The Snow Shoveler

It snowed last night, and everyone on your street is out shoveling their driveways. You finish yours and head inside - or do you? Look around. There's an elderly neighbor who can't shovel safely anymore. A single parent juggling kids and work. Someone who just had surgery.
The Scout who finishes their own driveway and then grabs the shovel to help a neighbor - without being asked, without expecting payment, just because they saw a need - that Scout understands what helpfulness really means.
A Scout is helpful especially to those who need it most. When you use your strength and energy to serve those who can't do heavy work themselves, you're not just clearing a driveway. You're building community, showing respect for elders, and proving that Scouts don't just talk about service - we live it in our neighborhoods, one good turn at a time.
