Personally Speaking
A Boy's New Year's Resolutions
IIave you ever felt that it is easier to make reso-
lutions for others than it is for yourself? Fol-
lowing this premise for a moment, why not list a
few that we would like our boys to make? For
example:
To develop self-reliance. How wonderful it
would be if every boy were able to think and act
for himself.
To be a good team member. Certainly a neces-
sary companion virtue to self-reliance, and
equally important in this complex modern world.
To learn to enjoy helping others. When it does
really become fun, the Good Turn habit has truly
taken hold.
To want to be physically fit. And to work at it,
in spite of all the softening temptations of mod-
ern life.
To be happy. When it rains on a hike or things
go wrong in camp, a Scout who can remain cheer-
ful is an appreciated companion.
To want to learn. A desire to know more opens
doors to a richer life. This trait, which can be
spurred in Scouting, pays off in school and
throughout life.
To feel a sense of reverence. The outdoors,
where Scouting is at its best, is a perfect place
for a boy's appreciation of God to grow deeper.
You would like to see your boys develop traits
like these, wouldn't you? They can and will, to
the extent that they see them in you, the leader
whom they admire so much.
Which seems to give you a set of resolutions,
doesn't it?
