Hi everyone! Mr. Maloney here for the Cub Master Minute presented by Pack 457 in Zelienople, PA. As you know, we’ve been focusing on the Scout Oath this year and its time to talk about the words:
I will do my best.
What does it mean to when you say you’ll do your best? Let me tell you a story…
Once a long time ago a hound was out with his owner trailing a mountain lion. The hound came to a place where a fox had crossed the trail, and the hound decided to follow the fox instead of the lion.
A short time later, a rabbit crossed that of the fox, and again the hound changed direction. Why should he chase a fox when a rabbit might be easier to catch?
When the hunter finally caught up with his hound, the dog was barking at a small hole in the ground. The hound had brought to brought its owner a field mouse instead of a mountain lion.
Do you think the hound did it’s best or did it take the easy way out? The Hound took the easy way out, tracking easier and less dangerous game.
We can take the easy way out too. Maybe we choose not to stand up to someone who is bullying our friends because it isn’t our problem. Or maybe we don’t try reading a new book because there are too many big words, or we don’t try playing a new game because we aren’t as good our friends we’re playing with.
It’s easy to be sidetracked by easier trails, but don’t be like that hound. Find out what it takes to accomplish your goals, and then get started. The best way to achieve anything in life is to set a true course for it and then stick to that trail.
I hope that you’ll stick to that trail and stick with us in the next episode of the Cubmaster Minute. Until then, stay safe and stay Scouting.
