Scoutmaster Minute 4/26/2010

"Do you know who you are?", Mr. Beamer asked.

 

Do you go out with friends and act differently than you do at home? Do you try to fit into various groups at school? Do you feel uncomfortable among different groups?

 

If you try to fit in, if you think you have to act differently around certain people, you are not being true to yourself. You may not even know who you are, what you stand for, what your values and beliefs are.

 

Once you understand these, once you have a handle on who you are and what you are all about, you don’t have a need to fit in to certain groups. You are “comfortable in your own skin”.

 

Your Scouting experience helps you to find yourself, develop your values and beliefs, and learn how to hold true to them. Scouting can help you discover who you are, and gives you the confidence to remain who you are – even if those around you want you to act differently.
