During the Ceremony
Today, I want to talk about being Courteous. It is the fifth point of the Scout Law. A Scout is Courteous.
Being courteous means being polite and showing respect to others.
You can be courteous by saying “please” and “thank you” and using good manners. You can also be courteous by waiting your turn or holding the door for someone.
When you’re courteous, you make people feel good because you’re showing that you care about them. Being courteous means to be thinking of others and being kind in the little things you do every day. For example, when you’re sitting in a group, like in your den meetings, you can be courteous by listening to others, letting them talk, and waiting for your turn to speak.
Being courteous is about more than just being kind. It’s about following the Golden Rule and treating others like you want to be treated.
Being courteous is something that helps everyone get along better and makes the world a nicer place. So, let’s remember to be polite, kind, and respectful to others, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it helps make everyone feel special and important.
