Scout scouting organizations help young people practice goodness and compassion in the world, showing that character and how you treat others matter. In a culture that often rewards domination, lifting up the values of scouting like trustworthy and, trustworthiness, loyalty, helpfulness, kindness, courage, and reverence resists the very domination that we see and witness in this world. When we bless our scouts, we are giving thanks that goodness grows where it is cultivated. We are affirming that all of us we are affirming for all of us that learning how to serve, how to care for others, and how to live with integrity is holy work, especially in a world that sends the opposite message.
