WHY I’M A LEADER
I’m not a Cub 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!
