Two Stars on a Calendar

Imagine two grown-up neighbors planning a walk. They spread a big calendar on the porch. One draws a star on a day set aside to worship God. The other marks a different day. They pick another day for their walk. Both stars stay on the page.

The Scout Law point is Reverent. That means we honor God and respect the beliefs of others. Those neighbors did not need to erase a star or argue about which day was best. They made a plan that cared for both people. We can do that, too. A friend's faith may be different from yours. You can be true to your own faith and still be kind about theirs.

This week, ask a grown-up about a day that is special to their faith. Then ask a friend about a day their family holds special. Listen with care, and thank them for sharing.
