Scouting depends on a solid foundation on which to build and carry out its program. Scouting’s foundation is manpower.
As we build our Scout programs of service to the youth of our community, we should be alert to the hazards of a sub-standard foundation: not enough manpower to do the job, poor or ineffective manpower, untrained and unskilled manpower. These may lead to poorly designed and shaky Scouting programs.
Let’s resolve to build a solid foundation for our Scouting program.
