Next week is our court of honor, and we’ are all going to gather back here, put on our complete field uniform, with neckerchiefs, sashes, up to date ranks, the whole nine yards.  Did I say up to date ranks?

This room will be full with scouts, leaders, parents, grandparents, and some guests.

You guys will be recognized for your achievements over the past 6 months, and be reminded of all the cool ranks, and awards we get to wear on our uniforms.

 

But that uniform in only ½ the story.

 

That uniform shows others where are from, and how far we’ve gone.  And it is a great and important part of scouting.  But all those patches get sewn on the outside.

That uniform also shows you’ve sewn something onto the inside.

The scout oath and law have been sewn into your mind and your heart, and that is our biggest award.

Remember this, even when we’re not wearing the scouting uniform, when we are at school, at work, at home, anywhere…….

We still have scouting sewn to us.
