At our last meeting, we talked about the third tenet of the Scout Law: a Scout is Helpful. What does that mean to you and to your Scout? Remember, your are his most important Akela (teacher). In demonstrating his faithfulness to this tenet, a Scout is concerned about other people. He does things willingly for others without pay or reward. Sometimes we might have to ask, plead, encourage, and even prod a bit - but our boys are learning by watching us. When you demonstrate your own helpfulness, point it out to him. And when you notice his helpfulness, make a big deal. Praise and acknowledge his model behavior. For our October meeting, we'll be getting creepy and crawly in anticipation of Halloween. How does that connect to A Scout is Kind? Come to the meeting to find out... Until next time, Do your best -Dan |
