Scoutmaster Minute— August 12, 2025

Will you be my neighbor?

This question was asked by a man named Fred Rogers. He asked kids from all over the country to be his neighbor on his television show Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.

"Neighbors are people who live close to each other. Neighbors look at each other; they talk to each other; they listen to each other. That's how they get to know each other."

We are all neighbors. The scouts and adults around you are your neighbors. Mr. Rogers encouraged all of his television neighbors to be kind and care. He had the following to say about neighbors.

"Neighbors are people who live close to each other. Neighbors look at each other; they talk to each other; they listen to each other. That's how they get to know each other."

"Neighbors are people who are close to us and close to our hearts."

At the center the messages Mr. Rogers shared was kindness and respect. Each of us as human beings are worth of kindness and respect. We are all valuable and perfect just the way we are.

All of us should treat all of our neighbors with kindness and respect.

A scouts is reverent, courteous, and kind.
