On a crowded highway in bumper to bumper traffic. An ambulance with its sirens blazing and lights flashing. I am going to tell you a tale of two cities. The most recent one I was coming back from the vet with Nicholas and the dogs. I was driving in the left most lane. I slowed downed pulling my car over out of the lane to make space and allow the ambulance to go through. Some of the other cars around me did that. Unfortunately many people kept traveling on the path they were already on. For the next several miles while driving not only did I see that ambulance, I watched it struggle to make its way through traffic as car after car failed to move over to allow the ambulance pass through traffic. The ambulance only disappeared from our sight when it exited the highway. The second one city Honolulu, HI. I hear the sirens and watch cars create a an open lane in the middle of a crowded highway with bumper to bumper traffic. Everyone created space for the ambulance. This happened several moments before the ambulance easily drove through traffic and vanished on the road ahead. To this day it is one of the most amazing things I have seen on the road. These two experience highlighted some important things: When working together for a common goal a group of people are capable of doing incredible things. While one person not getting out of the way doesn’t cause the largest inconvenience. When it happens over and over again the cumulative affect can have a large negative impact. You as a member of this troop, your school community and this planet know that your actions matter and impact others around you. A Scout is Courteous.
