I just spent 2 nights camping with scouts … someone get me a huge mug of java and two aspirin!!!
Aside from the obvious crick in my neck from sleeping on rocks and roots, I took something useful away from the experience.
Wouldn’t we all be better off if we were more like scouts? Think about how successful you and your organization would be if you were more:
Trustworthy: If a scout says, “On my honor, it is so,” that means it is so. In our industry, in this time in history, what could possibly be more important?
Loyal: A scout will stick with you through thick and thin. If that means we need to restructure a loan to help someone make ends meet, so be it.
Helpful: When in difficulty to know which of two things to do, scouts ask themself, “Which is best for other people?”
You see where this article is going. Now imagine a world were we all follow the rest of Scout Law as:
- Friendly
- Courteous
- Kind
- Obedient
- Cheerful
- Thrifty
- Brave
- Clean
- Reverent
As you move further into your day and attack the remainder of this month and conquer the rest of the year, please try to be more scout-like and to do what you can to move your institution that way too.
Take care,
Eric
