It is down the page some. Additional Resources: Accommodation The older youth Scouting America programs (Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouting, and Exploring) encourage leadership development, growth, and independence by recommending that youth share accommodations with other youth (must be the same gender per Barriers to Abuse).

Phrased in question form: Have you prepared to do a good turn today? -

I could not help but think of the long running joke about the Scout helping old ladies across the street. But, my point is simply this is part and parcel an example of what our society seems to have lost, and the fact that Scouting has this as a brick in its foundation.
