Motivation Quote of the Day


Recommended Posts

One per person per day.

Quotes that scouters can take back in pass along to their scouts. You might even start a Quote of the Day before dismissing the scouts. I did something like this with both my Cubs and Scouts. Your SPL may want to start giving them at Troop or PLC meetings. Not a lot of rules, but scouts get bored quickly. The fewer the words,  the better. They love humor. 

I'll start todays:

Success is usually found in a pile of mistakes.

What I mean is everyone should add one quote per day. We should dozens of new quotes a day (I assume we have dozens of members). If only three of us add a quote, then maybe the one per day should go away.

Our color guards always started their service at each meeting with a quote when they were called to present colors. This quote is the kind of stuff they looked for. It's easy to say and makes and projects a positive point of attitude for the day.

In my collating/writing/editing/publishing/emailing of our District eNews,  I always lead with a pithy saying, either serious or not so, but thought provoking.  

Yogi Berra and Mark Twain and BP are some of my favorite sources.
