Scoutmaster Minute, 19 December 2023

Here we are again, the time of the year that we associate with gift giving. For most of us, it involves some sense of stress because of all the shopping and trying to guess what we can give to others within the limits of our budgets. This can be even more stressful for kids, even though some of you have side jobs and allowances your main jobs (being students) are non-paying. Consider giving what others want from you most – your time. Author and pastor Rick Warren said, "Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it. You can make more money, but you can't make more time. When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back." This holiday season, spend time with your loved ones. I guarantee you will be giving them a gift that they will recognize as priceless.

A Scout is Kind.
