Kindness to a Cub Scout by a Lady Keeping it Positive!

Kindness to a Cub Scout by a Lady Keeping it Positive - Show Notes This episode highlights the kind actions by a lady who took time to talk with an 8 year old Cub Scout selling popcorn. The Cub Scout seemed dejected because so many people either wouldn’t respond or shook their heads no to his invitation to buy popcorn to support his den. Then, a lady walked out of the store and stopped, taking a few seconds to smile and talk with the boy. When asked if she would like to buy popcorn, she too, said “No”, but she opened her wallet and gave a donation to the now smiling 8 year old Cub Scout. He was thrilled at the lady’s kindness. As the lady walked by, I noticed she was wearing a tee shirt with the words, “Keep it Positive!”. This lady truly was acting in alignment with her beliefs. On a personal note, two of my grandsons were in Scouting for several years. Both grandsons live the Boy Scout creed every day. The oldest grandson, now a college senior, has volunteered hundreds upon hundreds of hours through his service fraternity and other groups. He’s done volunteer work in the U.S. and other countries helping those in need. My 16 year old grandson also volunteers - as do his brother, sister, and parents - helping feed the homeless and doing other wonderful works of charity. Scouting has been an important contributor to the kind, loving people these young men have become. The values they learned and lived in scouting will help guide them for the rest of their lives. I encourage you to support the Scouting programs - boys and girls. The next time a young boy or girl approaches you selling cookies, popcorn, or other items, reach into your wallet and give a donation or - even better - make the purchase. By supporting the Scouts, you truly do, ‘Make the world a better place”. Stephen Carter here for the, “Make the World a Better Place” podcast. Comments invited at CarterMethod@gmail.com
