This month you young Scouts are learning something about food and cooking and how to use recipes to whip up a tasty meal. I hope you're learning that following a recipe is vital to good cooking, unless you're satisfied with hot dogs and hamburgers all the time in camp.
You've probably found out that a pinch of salt, a dash of cinnamon, or a teaspoon of sugar makes all the difference. In fact, every-thing in the recipe has a reason for being there.
Scouting is like a recipe for living. We call the ingredients our ideals-our Oath and Law, our motto, our slogan. You might say that Scouting's recipe for living calls for a cupful of each of the 12 points of the Scout Law, a tablespoon of Good Turn, a heaping cup of duty of God and country, and a couple of dashes of duty to self-that is, physical, mental, and moral fitness. Add a quart or two of fun. Mix well, and you have good Scouting.
But if we ignore one of the ingredients, the Scouting dish doesn't taste as good as it should. Let's remember that for good Scouting, and a full, satisfying life, each of Scouting's ingredients is important.
