"As we celebrate the joys of the holiday season, we are reminded of the timeless stories that inspire us—stories of hope, light, and faith. The Christmas story teaches us about the power of compassion and the humble beginnings of a journey that changed the world, while the story of Hanukkah reminds us of the strength found in perseverance, the miracle of light, and the importance of standing firm in our values. In Scouting, we share in these values of family, reverence, and service to others. As we gather with those we love during this holiday, we are given us a chance to pause, reflect, and appreciate the blessings we have, while also giving back to those in need. As we come together with family and friends, may we carry forward the spirit of generosity, kindness, and faith—values that both the Christmas and Hanukkah traditions highlight, and values that we continue to nurture in our Scouts. Wishing you a season filled with peace, love, and light." Am I getting too cynical to think this may be a mass piece sent to SE's by National? Just wondering, though I do appreciate any pleasant communication, even if likely canned. -
Thinking about the Aaron item above, I feel I should note that the number of Eagles, though impressive obviously, should not be the focus, or so it seems to me. Eagle "is not the goal of Scouting". Note what this veteran says in his discussion with Aaron. He stresses the "boy leader" focus and the concept of let them do it. "Keep your hands in your pockets" and let them run with things. As far as Eagle is concerned, it comes on its own for those youth that truly care to make it happen. And they are likely the strongest of the many. But, all of us that have likely shaken our heads about "paper Eagles", have seen some of those somehow rise from their misguided concepts of importance and become what we hoped at the start, or what we should hope for anyway. Over my many years trying to sit back, but not doing it well too often, I have seen youth never become Eagle, yet they took control anyway, and got it done. It is not the rank, it is the skill and character that should be the goal. Or that is how I have come to feel.
