| | | Positive Quote and Prayer
-------------------------------- "Be Prepared...the meaning of the motto is that a Scout must prepare himself by previos thinking out and practicing how to act on any accident or emergency so that he is never taken by surprise." ~Robert Baden-Powell Oh Great Spirit Prayer composed by Chief Yellow Lark, a Blackfoot Indian Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds and whose breath gives
life to all the world, hear me. I come before you, one of your many children.
I am weak and small. I need your strength and wisdom. Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset; my ears sharp so I may hear your voice. Make me wise, so I may learn the things you have taught my people, the lessons you have hidden under every rock and leaf. I seek strength, not to be superior to my brothers, but to be able to fight my greatest enemy--myself. Make me ever ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes, so whenever life fades, like the fading sunset, my spirit will come to you without shame. | | Monday Memo is from the Council and contains our reflection on what is happening within the Council.
