| Leading the way... |
| What does that mean? |
| Think about being a Cub Scout. You came to den meetings and did a lot of different and fun things. But who decided what to do and who planned the activities? The Den Leaders, right? |
| Sports teams are a lot of fun, too. But who decides who plays what position, who's on the starting lineup and when to substitute? The coach, right? |
| There is one thing that makes Scouting different from all other youth groups. Do you know what it is? |
| Well, it is not the uniform. Every soccer, basketball, and baseball team has a uniform. It is not the fun activities. There are a lot of other things that are fun. And it certainly isn't cleaning dirty pots and pans on a campout! |
| What makes Scouting special is that YOU make the decisions! |
| So, are you ready to Lead the way? We sure hope so! |
