Honesty

Gratitude
Challenge your Scouts BSA to show their gratitude for those who have passed on their ideals by doing more than just saying the Scout Oath and Law, but by living them.
Hope for the Future

All Ages
Thanksgiving
This makes a nice Scoutmaster Minute or Cubmaster Minute or even just a good reflection for a family gathering in the fall. This is based on something in some old BSA program helps.
Threads and Flags
The US flag is a symbol of our country. When we honor it, when honor all of those who have protected our freedom through the years, especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our liberty.
Gandhi’s Shoe
