WHY I’M A LEADER

I’m not a Scout leader for the easy hour;

High pay, parents’ gratitude, power or prestige.

I’m a leader because I want the world for your son and mine.
A world he can share and help shape,

A world of love and laughter, where he can show compassion.

I want him to look at the stars, a sunrise, a sunset,

The work and world of man,

And feel its beauty inside himself.

I want to help him learn to finish everything he starts and do it well,

And guide him to know his worth with a deeper understanding of himself.

I want to help shape men who have strength of character,

And who are sensitive to the needs of others.

I want them to be the best they can be.

I’m giving of myself and my time.

I reap rewards far beyond what I give.

I receive for my children and future generation a better world.

I’M A SCOUT LEADER BECAUSE I CARE!
