PRAYERS AND POEMS FOR SCOUTS
World Wonders
Best of the Leaders Cut-Out

Often I think there is little left in the
world
That is wondrous to see;
Then I have to pause and
watch
A group of Scouts growing up around me.
A Thought
Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the
freedom to make mistakes.
Mohandas Gandhi

Dear God,
With this prayer, I call to mind my
friends. I ask for your blessing on them. May angels fill their
nights and bless their days. May they find joy and peace and
harmony. May I be a source of happiness in their lives. May our
bonds be strong and based on truth. May they always know that in me,
they have support. May I live a life that lives up to this prayer.
Thank You, God. Amen.
The Green Angel
Denver Area Council
I dreamed I went to Heaven
And saw
among the dead
An angel dressed in green
A halo 'round her
head
And she looked kind of funny
Midst all the glaring
white
The others asked her jealously
What gave her such a
right.
(She answered…)
I'm a Cub Scout Leader
And I
lay no hold to fame,
But being such a person
Means more than
just a name.
My jobs on earth are many;
Praises and thanks are
few,
I did more work in one day
Then ten people ought to
do.
I've been a nurse, a tin can cooker
A hiker, a
pathfinder,
I've also been artist,
A sailor and a
bookbinder.
I taught boys to dance,
I taught parrots to
sing,
I made saints out of hoodlums,
While mama had her
fling!
I walked the streets 'till my feet
Felt like a ton of
brick,
Helping to sell popcorn 'till
The mere thought made me
sick.
But still it was a lot of fun;
Life was never a
bore.
See, this role isn't new to me…
"I've been
an angel before."
