Countdown to Camporee - 6 Days to Go!

Today's tip is on how to make more friends in Camp (and in general).

Never laugh at others because they are different.

Maybe they are slow, fat or hairy and you find them funny and can't stop laughing. You may even laugh together with a group of other boys - probably your own gang or clique.

But your actions will come back to haunt you in the end. You (and those boys who laugh along) will be seen as being mean and nasty. Other people will not respect you. They won't want to befriend you. And in the end, you stay forever stuck in your circle of "friends".

Just in case you don't believe me, remember the survey I did for individual Cub Scouts? Which P4 and P6 boys scored the highest for the Scout values of friendliness, trustworthiness, consideration and loyalty? Something for you to think about.
