PRAYERS AND POEMS FOR SCOUTERS
Happy 94th birthday to the Boy Scouts of America.
Be
watching for that big 100th birthday Jamboree in 2010!!! I
graduated from Cubs to Boy Scouts in 1960, the 50th anniversary of
the BSA. That Jambo was in Colorado Springs (I went to Valley Forge in
1964)!!
The Blessing in "NO"
Author Unknown
Circle Ten Council
I
asked God to take away my pride.
God said "No".
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.
I
asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said "No".
Her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary.
I
asked God to grant me patience.
God said "No".
Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is earned.
I
asked God to give me happiness.
God said "No".
I give you blessings, happiness is up to you.
I
asked God to spare me pain.
God said "No".
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.
I
asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said "No".
You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I
asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said "No".
I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things.
I ask
God to help me LOVE others, as much as he loves Me.
God said... Ahhhh, finally you have the idea!
Roundtable Prayer
Cub Scouting Roundtable Planning Guide
The men and women who settled our state saw more
than land to build upon. They had a vision of what the land could be. We, as
leaders of Scouts, have a vision of what our Scouts could be – leaders of
tomorrow. Guide our words and our actions as we build for the future.
Amen.
What Be A Webelos?
Jake McCoy, A Webelos Scout in Virginia
Way
below the Webelos
Gnashed his gnarly teeth
When
scratching at a google tree
And the mombills beneath
Eyes
of flame, claws of stone
Fillipools run in fear
Webelos whiffle through the trees
Listen, can you hear?
Terror! Terror! In the glens
The
sight that no one knows
They
hunt the running merrigans
What be a Webelos?
