Without the lessons learned from Scouts, I would not have the character needed to complete tasks needed when I am not in full agreement with a fellow worker. Even when you do not agree, the task can be completed without disrespect or contempt for your fellow worker. This is essential for my mission in my current employment position. Most important, it is not the morals and standards that were taught, but the people who taught them. Through the influence of adult Scouters, I was able to see the standards in practice and not only in theory.
Morals are a wonderful thing when taught and even more effective when acted upon by the teacher.
You might be one person in the world, but you might mean the world to one person. The lessons learned and the people I have met through Scouting have shown me that I can be a lifesaver. Thank you to the whole congregation for the wonderful support you have been giving our youth in our efforts to serve the Lord on our Mission Trip to Mexico this July 1-7, 2001. This program will include a light meal and a report about the trip. The date for this year's rummage sale is Saturday, June 9 th , with set-up on Friday night, June 8 th .
