Happy Faces
Heart of America Council
Personnel: 8 Cub
Scouts
Equipment:
A happy face sign for each
1st Cub:
I think there were 1,000 smiles here tonight,
but did you know
2nd
Cub:
A smile costs nothing,
3rd Cub:
But creates much.
4th Cub:
It happens in a flash, but the memory
sometimes lasts forever.
5th
Cub:
It cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen,
6th Cub:
But it is of no earthly good to anyone unless
it is given away.
7th
Cub: So, if in your hurry and rush you meet someone who is too weary to
give you a smile, leave one of yours.
8th Cub:
No one needs a smile quite as much as a
person who has none left to give.
Magic of The World
York Adams Area Council
As parents,
we want to show our sons the wonders of the world. In the eyes of a child,
there are not just eight wonders of the world but eight million. We want him
to be able to look at the stars, sunrise, sunset, and feel their beauty.
§
We want them to see a world of
love, laughter, and compassion.
§
We
want them to build strength within themselves of strong character and a
sensitivity to the needs of others.
§
We
want them to be the best they can be.
Unfortunately, no one can wave a magic wand so that they will receive these
things. We as leaders and parents must set the example to show the guidance so
they may see the way to accomplish all of these things. This is the magic;
Our example and guidance.
So as we leave, let's be aware
of our actions and how loudly they speak to our youth.
