Scouting is a worldwide
brotherhood. It is unique, different, and based on the principles of loving
and serving God, human dignity, the rights of individuals, and recognizing
the obligation of all members to develop and use their full potential. It is a
movement dedicated to bringing out the best in people; one of the few left in
the world where the emphasis is not on winning as an end result, but on the far
more demanding task of "doing one's best." All of the activities have
an effect on the growth and development of boys, and we must remember that our
ultimate objectives are citizenship training, character development, and
personal fitness.
Educators will tell us that and increasing number of young people find they
cannot make friends and feel lonely, even in a crowd. They have had thousands of
words spoken at them by television, and they have never learned to play, to
laugh, to develop their imaginations, and to express their feelings. If we can
help nurture courage and kindness, allow boys to play, to laugh, to develop
imaginations, and to express their feelings, then we will have helped them grow.
We want them to become useful and stable individuals who are aware of their own
worth. Helping a boy learn the value of his own worth is the greatest gift we
can give him. Scouting helps us to do just that.
