  Why I am a Leader



  I'm not a Cub Scout leader for the easy hours, high pay, parents'

  gratitude, power, or prestige.



  I'm a leader because I want the world for your son and mine -- a world

  he can share and help shape; a world of love and laughter, where he

  can show compassion.



  I want him to look at the stars, a sunrise, a sunset, the work and

  world of man -- and feel its beauty inside himself.



  I want to help him learn to finish anything he starts and do it well,

  and to guide him to know his worth with a deeper understanding of

  himself.



  I want to help shape men who have strength of character and are

  sensitive to the needs of others.



  I want them to be the best they can be.



  I'm giving of myself and my time. I reap rewards far beyond what I

  give. I receive for my children, your children, and future children a

  better world.



  Anyone who can teach me or show me a better way to do this job, anyone

  who gives of their time to help me become a better leader, and anyone

  who by action or deed makes the Scouting program come alive will

  forever have my undying gratitude.



  I am a Cub Scout Leader because I care.
