The Gateway

This is the Advisor's minute that I gave to the OA Chapter on Tuesday night. I stole it from another scoutmaster, but it fit the bill. Short, but used the issues causing an advisor change as a "teaching moment"

How many of you have seen the elaborate gateways that Jamboree troops build at their camp sites? One of the Jamboree troops had several people spend more than 2 and a half days building their gateway.

How long do you think it took them to tear it down? It took less than 2 and a half days. In fact, it took less than 2 and a half hours. I am told that the whole thing was torn down and packed up in a little more than an hour.

That gateway is like your character. It takes a long time to build a good character, but you can destroy your character with just one poor choice.

So guard your hard earned character. Thank you scouts.
