Be A Boyscout and Girlscout

i learned a lot of good things and good values from being a boy scout in the school. but we cannot be sure about the children of ours now. not being a scout will teach you all the things to be good. looking at my kids now. they are still going to school and they are all scouts. but it doesn't totally give us the assurance all of them will be good.

Interesting discussion, on the title and the beginning of the paragraph you talk a little about the scouts, and eventually you ask back of our consciousness by running what we can from childhood (at least from the experience of being a scout). Really I do not see many people who do that well in today's modern era. It really made ??me realize about it.

Hi there Visavis! You reminded me of the time when I was a cub scout. I have been a member of Girls Scouts but I'm not really active. I think back then, public school students are automatically member of the association. I believe that good manners and right conduct is alive and well even now. These things are taught not only through Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts but also at home, in schools, and of course, the church. There are times when I see that help is not given even though it is clearly needed but even though those who are always willing and ready to help may have declined in number but it still exists.

It's a sad thing, a sad reality that the virtues of respect, politeness and chivalry have all been slowly fading away as time passed by. I do remember those days when we were taught to help a blind man cross the street, offer a seat to someone older than us, give way to the elderly and all those acts of kindness. It's really disappointing that not all teenage kids are like this anymore. Unlike before, we were taught how to act in such situations. I just hope that camps and schools would still encourage young people to join clubs that would nurture the skills, virtues and humanity of a person, no matter what age it is. As for me, I have been taught not only at school but most especially by my parents to help someone in need. I usually encounter people who do not know where to go at a particular place especially since I live in a city that's quite famous for its tourist spots and I willingly and smilingly instruct them to the right directions. Also, I still give a few coins/ change for beggars I encounter while walking and I always give way to blind people when I meet them.
