At the end of the archery competition the other day we were given a certificate for taking part. We didn’t win, but the Scouts got some recognition for being there, having a go and trying their best.<\/p>\n
There was only one certificate and I’ll end up keeping it and putting it away in the archives. So before I did that, I scanned it and printed out copies for the Scouts who took part. So as well as the photos I took, they have something to say they were there. <\/p>\n
I think that it’s right to give the Scouts something for taking part as they weren’t doing it for a badge, but for fun. It’s a sign of thanks for having a go.<\/p>\n
It’s all part of ‘being friendly and considerate’. I always thank the Leaders for coming and helping at whichever meeting I’m at, be it Beavers, Cubs or Scouts. It’s the same with the kids. If they turn up, I recognise that fact. I think it has a bit more sway with the Beavers and Cubs as they don’t see me as often as the Scouts, but I thank them all. I make special thanks of the kids who turn up to things I know they don’t want to come to. It makes them realise that they’re not being taken for granted.<\/p>\n
So thank you all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
