Why are we Scout leaders? Why do we spend countless hours a week doing what we do? Is it for the recognition? Because we have nothing better to do? Or is it because we all believe that EVERY kid needs a champion? That ever kid deserves the chance to succeed? And that every kid should have the chance to be in an organization that can give them a leg up in life? I think it's the later of the options.
I found this video on TED.com. The presenter, Rita Pierson, is a lifelong teacher with a great message that serves as a reminder as to why we are so dedicated to a youth serving program. Every kid deserves a champion, and you as a Scout leader, can be that champion. I encourage you to listen to her words and consider the impact you have on the Scouts in our district. What changes you are making and the lives you are improving.
"An adult who never gives up on them...and insists they become the best they can possibly be."
