Scouting Roundtable Planning Guide
Oh God of Land and Sea, help us to
realize that the purest gold in the world is a heart dedicated totally to
you and that the richest person in the world is the one who shows compassion
for his fellow human beings. As we take this voyage over the new seas, help
us to grow more aware of the needs of those around us. Amen.

The good you find in others is in you too.
The faults you find in others are your faults as well.
After all, to recognize something you must know it.
The possibilities you see in others are possible for
you as well.
The beauty you see around you is your beauty.
The world around you is a reflection, a mirror showing
you the person you are.
To change your world, you must change yourself.
To blame and complain will only make matters worse.
Whatever you care about is your responsibility.
What you see in others shows you yourself.
See the best in others, and you will be your best.
Give to others, and you give to yourself.
Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful.
Admire creativity, and you will be creative.
Love, and you will be loved.
Seek to understand, and you will be understood.
Listen, and your voice will be heard.
Teach, and you will learn.
Show your best face to the mirror, and you'll be happy
with the face looking back at you.
Minds
are like a parachute; they only function when they are open.

WORDS TO LIVE BY
Nancy, a Cub Scouting friend in NJ
Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of
it.
Drive
carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.
Eat a
live toad in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you for the rest
of the day.
If
you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
If
you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth
it.
It
may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to
others.
Never
buy a car you can't push.
Never
put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you don't have a
leg to stand on.
Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
The
early worm gets eaten by the bird, so sleep late.
When
everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
You
may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one
person.
Some
mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
Don't
cry because it's over; smile because it happened.
We
could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are
dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors but they all have
to learn to live in the same box.
A
truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open.
Have
an awesome day, and know that someone has thought about you today....
