SILENT EXAMPLE

An older scout was walking down the sidewalk and came across a “not-so-nice”

four letter word written in chalk. Without saying a word, he rubbed the word out

with his feet and then kept on walking. When he would come to another word

like this, he would rub it out with his feet also without saying anything and then

keep on walking. The younger kids in his neighborhood would watch this

happen and soon, every time that they would find a four-letter word written on

their sidewalks they would rub it out also.

It’s amazing what the power of suggestion can do if used in the right way. This

is the way that scouting sets the example.
