Remember to: Sign Up on the calendar; Print and Sign the Camp Packet; Come by the hut between 6:30 and 8:00p on Monday night to complete your registration. Registration closes at 8:30p on 7/13.
None of us now what scouting will look like this fall. I have a great idea though what scouting will look like in years to come. Our youth, our community, our nation and our world will (and do) need scouting more then ever.
“A Scout is obedient. A Scout follows the rules of his family, school, and troop. He obeys the laws of his community and country. If he thinks these rules and laws are unfair, he tries to have them changed in an orderly manner rather than disobeying them.”
Being obedient doesn't always seem easy. Most of the time that we struggle with obedience, it is the fifth letter in the word that trips us up. "i" When we put our wants ahead of the rules or others, we will always struggle to be obedient.
The second part of the statement is perfect for July 4th. We are blessed to live in an amazing country and society that allows for Freedom of Speech. When we identify something that we believe needs to be changed, we have the opportunity to be a force for that change. Scouting is a great example; patrol leaders, SPL's, and adult leaders are all here to help in "an orderly manner".
Our challenge for the month...demonstrate obedience and set an example to others.
Please watch our 90 second video And look for 241 scouts. Camp Allatoona Aquatics Base will be back to making smiles in a few weeks. In the meantime CAST needs your helping getting ready.
