You may have received the advice, "don't burn your bridges." This term dates back to the days of the Roman Empire, where the Roman Army was constantly at war and burning bridges behind one's forces could negate the chances of mutiny, as any soldiers choosing to leave the field of battle would not have a way back home. Yet, burning one's bridges meant that the army could not receive resupply or reinforcements either. Therefore, blocking one's exit limited one's options.
Today, when we say, "don't burn your bridges" we are typically talking about relationships. The person you think you do not need to invest time to develop a friendship, or worse yet you do not keep from being an enemy, might be someone you need to ask for a favor in the future. This is the same for jobs – always leave on good terms. At a minimum, you will need the reference, and sometimes former bosses reach back out to good employees to offer better opportunities.
As a Scout, we should always be friendly. Yet sometimes anger and pride cause humans to do things they later regret, like "burning bridges." Maintain the moral high ground and always endeavor to leave in good terms.
A Scout is Friendly.
