Scouting and Classroom Lessons

I was a Boy Scout for three weeks.

I can’t remember why it was so short, but I do recall that limited tenure.

I learned one very important lesson from that scouting experience.

It was reinforced by constant reminders from my teachers in school.

Today, several decades later, I still try to ‘Be Prepared’ and ‘Do My Homework’.

I appreciate the reinforcement of these principles; it makes life a little easier to deal with in this complicated world.

These are important life lessons we should learn to live with.

Too often, we don’t prepare or check - and fall into the trap of incorrectly assuming something or another.
