As a physician, I must disagree. Though some accounting processes would be challenging without a crash course, I could do all the other office jobs except laboratory technician for those practices that have one as certificates are required. The council is well run and did layoff staff as well as not filling some professional jobs. No professionals were laid off - that was the plan. It was better to have a one year pay reduction than to lose one's job. Our council is one of the healthiest in the region and will not be merging unless this RSA is rejected. -
Thanks everyone. I think I saw "service" and immediately jumped to ideas similar to our typical Cub Scout services projects. And not that those wouldn't necessarily qualify for this either, I just got thinking on this wrapped up in that more "standard" scenario. When in reality, and especially after reading the comments here, this needs to be viewed from a more personal spiritual perspective. I like the idea of presenting this as a question of who in the scout's life could use some help with something, and let them (with their parent and/or spiritual leader) answer that question. That definitely helps. Thanks, everyone! -
Without getting too deep into the theology, giving them the ideas might be counter productive in the long run. Giving them the task is like giving a poor man a fish. It would be better to teach them how to fish. Rather, help the scouts discover their own ideas. From their viewpoint, who would really appreciate some help? With anything. If a scout knows someone that really hates all the trash on the ground then picking it up is great. Same goes for teachers and school supplies, parents and toys, elderly and snow/ice/newspapers. Are their other children that could use some help with stuff, school work, learning to hit a baseball, play jacks or just get invited over to play. People have needs and where they can't fulfill them on their own is where there's an opportunity to be kind. -
It’s really about the motivation of the heart. If the act is selfless, it is pleasing to God. Barry -
