The Scout Law

For the past three months I've written about a variety of topics that will help individuals improve themselves. These twelve topics are related to the twelve points of the Scout Law. While Scouts take an oath of honor to keep the Scout Law, the twelve points can be applied by anyone.
A scout is:
Trustworthy (Honesty and Integrity, August 10, 2009),
Loyal (My Loyalties, July 20, 2009),
Helpful (The Better Choice, July 8, 2009),
Friendly (What Kind of Friend Am I?, September 13, 2009),
Courteous (Be Polite, August 24, 2009),
Kind (Kindness, September 1, 2009),
Obedient (Obedience, August 4, 2009),
Cheerful (Optimism, September 7, 2009),
Thrifty (Simplify Life, June 29, 2009),
Brave (Joseph's Courage, June 14, 2009),
Clean (Cleaning Up the World, July 27, 2009),
Reverent (Respect, August 16, 2009)
A person with these qualities will be respected and they will find many opportunities to help those around them. Which of these attributes do you have? Which attributes do you need to improve? Decide which attribute you want to have more of, think of ways to improve that attribute in yourself, and make goals to help you do so. If we want to improve the world, we first need to improve ourselves.
