A friend often shares common goals. He wants to see Scouting live and grow in the Scouts and Scouters of the Troop, realizing that their successes and growth are a source of quiet, inward happiness. A friend is someone with whom you can share the quiet hours of darkness around a campfire and reflect upon common memories of past campfires, past hikes, and past times together as you make plans for the future. A friend is not a clone who walks, talks and looks like me. A friend is someone I can respect for his infinite diversity and who respects me for my uniqueness also.
Friends are more special than words can ever describe.
True friends are few in number. Their value is beyond measure. They have a tremendous influence upon one's happiness. I'd be a poor man if I did not. To have one, you must first be one.
