I'm not a Cub Scout Leader for the easy hours, high pay, parent's gratitude, power or prestige.
I'm a leader because I want the world for your son and mine,
a world he can 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 their beauty inside himself.

I want to help him to 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 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 and future generations a better world.

I am a Cub Scout Leader because I care!
