On the importance of support

"Through support, we are:

• Being helpful when Scouters new to the movement need help the most 
•  Being trustworthy by following through on our commitments to Scouters
• Kindly sharing the lessons we’ve learned
• Cheerfully lending a hand 
• Being considerate in when and how we provide timely, relevant feedback 
• Encouraging cleanliness of spirit by helping others understand their role in helping youth grow and develop 
• Being wise in the use of our resources by allowing Section Scouters to focus on quality program "

- Chris Dougherty for Scouts Canada-Chinook Council, Scouter Support Playbook 

The importance of attitude

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
