Why I'm a Leader

Author Unknown

I'm not a Scout Leader for the easy hours, high pay, parents' gratitude, power or prestige. 

I'm a Leader because I want the world for your son or daughter or mine. 

A world they can share and help shape: a world of love and laughter where they can show compassion. 

I want to help them learn to finish anything they start and do it well and to guide them to know their self-worth with a deeper understanding of themselves. 

I want to help shape men and women who have strength of character and are sensitive to the needs of others. 

I want them to be the best they can be - whether as career people or tradesmen, young adults who are the hearts of the family. 

In giving my time and myself I reap rewards far beyond what I give. I receive a better world for my children and future generations. 

I'm a Scout Leader because I care!
