A younger Scout and his family were headed to church one Sunday morning. On their way in, an older man who had trouble walking was struggling to make it to the entrance. The young Scout kindly held open the door for him and his wife.
As the old man passed him, he questioned the boy, "Are you one of those Scouts?"
Surprised by the question, the young boy replied that he was. The old man asked, "So how's that coming for you?"
The Scout replied, "Well, I'm First Class."
Finally, as he managed to reach the entrance of the church, the old man smiled and said, "You keep on working for that Eagle Badge."

The young Scout had never seen this man in his life, never talked to him, yet his Scout Spirit had shown by doing such a simple action as holding the door for an elderly man. Showing Scout Spirit doesn't require a uniform, or patches of any kind. All Scout Spirit needs is an opportunity to help someone in need.

May we continue to due our duty to help other people at all times.
