New Year, New You

Scouts, we stand at the beginning of a brand new year. It is a good time to look back and to look ahead. A new year is like a fresh page in a book, ready for you to write your story. What will you write?

Think about the Scout Oath and Law. What if this year you chose one point of the Scout Law to work on? Maybe you could be more cheerful, more kind, or more thrifty. Small changes made every day add up to a big difference over time. Being a Scout means doing your best, not just for yourself but for the people around you. It is fine to dream big, but start small. Every fire begins with a single spark, and every great achievement starts with one step. Ask yourself what kind of Scout, and what kind of person, you want to be.

This week, pick your one point of the Scout Law and take one small step toward it every day. Happy New Year, Scouts.
