The five year old beavers must surely outnumber all other groups in the Boy Scout Organization, outnumber all other groups taken together. The beavers are the little fellows who tell us they belong to their beaver colony. They wear the brown hats edged in blue with a beaver tail hanging down the back. I am sobered every time I hear the beavers reaffirm their promise and motto.
Sharing is a most important biblical notion as well.
There is a family of New Testament words that has to do with sharing. In the words of the psalmist, we are frail creatures of dust. We are mortal. We are fellow-mortals. We are subject to death.
