We like to get back to foundations and good stuff at the beginning of the year. The Boy Scouts aren’t in the best graces of the world these days, yet we can honor and admire their foundations.
The Boy Scout Law: A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.
The oath:
“On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.”
The motto: “Be prepared.”
Any one of us would do well with these as guiding principles. Consider the immense capabilities of a people for whom these things are true.
