Be Proud

You can't watch TV or read a newspaper today without hearing the word "community. " There's talk about the black community, the Hispanic community, the business community and the scientific community. Wherever there are people with the same interests, they're a community.

You're part of a community, too. It's our neighborhood (or town). As a resident of this community, you have some common interests with everybody else that lives there. You want it to be clean and safe with pleasant streets, good schools and friendly people - a place you can be proud of.

Well, there's something you can do about that. In fact we're going to do something about it next week with our Good Turn. But you can do more. You can avoid littering, for example, and it won't hurt you to pick up other people's litter either. You can be a good citizen in school and thus make your school better.

Be proud of you community. And let's all do our part to make it a place we all can be proud of.


This site is a personal site, and is no way whatsoever connected to any 'official' Scouting Organization. Opinions expressed here are solely those of the Retired Scouter. If you don't like the current opinion you can contact me for others, I have plenty. More importantly, I have the time to tell them to you. Information that is downloaded from this site may be used in your program or re-published without asking my permission, I probably glommed it off of somebody else anyways. If you're going re-publish somebody else's information that isn't from this site, you should ask for their permission first. Some links/files may not reflect the current scouting programming in your local area. Camp coffee is an art and very few of us know how to prepare it properly, and no, I won't share.
