SUNSHINE, SHADOWS & SCOUTING CLEAN!
Hello, November! The third of the “ber” months is here, bringing cooler mornings, colorful leaves, and a reminder to embrace gratitude. As we enter the month of giving thanks, we also turn our attention to November’s Scout Law point: A Scout is CLEAN.

On this morning’s walk, my shadow and feet joined the Sun and a few friends. I enjoyed the beautiful autumn scenery, the fallen leaves, and the last of the Halloween decorations before they transition to the next big holiday celebration.

And, of course, I encountered a skeletal friend who appeared ready for a photoshoot!
My shadow made me look like the photographer, and this model was clearly ready for its close-up!

But beneath the humor is a lesson worth carrying into November.

Being CLEAN as a Scout means more than personal hygiene. It means keeping our bodies and minds healthy, choosing clean and honorable thoughts, using clean language, and treating the world around us with respect.

As Scouts, we practice Leave No Trace principles, care for our outdoor spaces, and remember that the places we enjoy today should remain beautiful for those who come after us.

This month, let's connect gratitude with responsibility. We can be thankful for the beauty of nature by protecting it, grateful for our communities by serving them, and appreciative of one another by choosing words and actions that build people up.

November Scout Challenge: As you enjoy the outdoors this month, leave every place cleaner than you found it. Pick up litter when it is safe to do so, respect nature, and remember that a clean world begins with each of us.

Because being CLEAN isn't just about how we look, it's about how we live, how we treat others, and the legacy we leave behind.

A Scout is CLEAN. Let's live it, lead it, and leave our world a little better than we found it!

🎃 SCOUTMASTER MINUTE: COURAGE ISN’T JUST FOR THE CAMPOUT! 👻

Scouts and Scout families,
On the eve of Halloween, I faced my annual fright: the mammogram machine! 😱

After a scare more than 20 years ago and two benign biopsies, I still do the “squishy dance” and hold my breath while waiting for results.

It got me thinking about the Scout Law and what it means to be BRAVE.
Being brave doesn't mean you aren't afraid. It means you do what needs to be done even when something makes you uncomfortable, nervous, or downright scared.

Sometimes, bravery looks like stepping up to a challenge on a campout. Other times, it looks like making a doctor's appointment you've been dreading.

Scouts, remember this: Courage isn't the absence of fear; it's choosing to move forward despite it.

Parents, this message is for you, too. We spend so much time encouraging our Scouts to be brave, try new things, and face their fears. But we must also model courage by taking care of ourselves. Our health matters, too!

Side note: With all our technological advancements, how is the mammogram process still so archaic?! 😂 Can we get an upgrade, please?!

Jokes aside, uncomfortable or not, scary or not, I keep showing up for myself because taking care of my health is non-negotiable. I've had two biopsies, and thankfully, both were benign. Because I have calcium deposits that sometimes require a closer look, I know the importance of following through with recommended screenings and additional testing.

As we continue to live the Scout Law, let's remember that being BRAVE isn't just about the big moments. It's about the everyday choices we make to protect ourselves, support one another, and do what's right, even when it's uncomfortable.

My challenge to our Scouts and their parents: What is one thing you've been putting off because it makes you nervous or uncomfortable? Maybe it's time to face that fear and take the first step.

And to the adults, especially the women in our Scouting family: please don't put off your recommended mammograms. Encourage one another to prioritize your health.

👻 This Halloween, may the scariest thing you face be a haunted house, not an appointment you were afraid to make!

Be brave. Be prepared. Take care of yourself so you can continue caring for others.

Yours in Scouting,

Scoutmaster Minute: Brave Enough to Use Your Voice

Scouts, this month, our focus is on being BRAVE.

When we hear the word brave, we might think of someone running toward danger, standing up to a bully, facing a fear, or doing something difficult even when they are afraid. But bravery doesn't always look dramatic. Sometimes, bravery is simply showing up, speaking up, and doing what is right, even when it would be easier not to.

Today, I had an unexpected 30 minutes back in my schedule after a meeting. I could have used that time for a dozen other things, but I chose to do something important to me: I went out and voted during early voting.

For me, voting is not optional. It is an honor and a privilege that I do not take lightly. I think about the countless people who gave their blood, sweat, tears, limbs, and even their lives so that I could have the right to make my voice heard.

That is a sacrifice I never want to take for granted.

So, what does voting have to do with being a Scout?

The Scout Oath calls us to do our duty to our country. The Scout Law reminds us to be Brave, to face difficult situations with courage, to stand up for what we believe is right, and to act with integrity.

Being brave doesn't mean everyone has to agree with us. It means we respect that others may see things differently while still having the courage to participate, to ask questions, to learn, and to make thoughtful decisions.

You may not be old enough to vote yet, but you are never too young to practice being an engaged citizen. You can learn about the issues affecting your community, listen respectfully to different perspectives, volunteer to help others, speak up when someone is being treated unfairly, and prepare yourself to take on the responsibilities of adulthood.

When I had 30 minutes returned to my day, I used them to exercise a right that generations before me fought to secure.

My challenge to each of you is this: Be brave enough to use your voice. Be brave enough to stand up for what is right. And be brave enough to take responsibility for the kind of community and country you want to help build.

Remember, Scouts, bravery is not always about doing something extraordinary. Sometimes, it is about doing the right thing with the time, opportunities, and privileges you have been given.

So, as you go about your day, ask yourself:

Am I using my voice? Am I standing up for what is right? Am I doing my duty?

Because being brave isn't just about having courage in a difficult moment. It's about choosing to make a difference, one action at a time.

Do a Good Turn Daily, and have the courage to make your voice count.

SOMETIMES, THE CALENDAR ALIGNS… AND TODAY, I AM HOPEFUL.

Sometimes, the calendar aligns, and the message is exactly what you need.

Today's calendar asks, “Which one are you feeling now?” My answer is HOPEFUL - brightened by optimism and looking ahead to future possibilities.

But there's another word on my mind this October: BRAVE. In Scouting, Brave is our Scout Law focus for the month, and lately, I've been seeing what that word looks like in action.

I've been thinking about the college students who walked from their campuses to vote after their campus polling locations were closed. Faced with an obstacle, they chose not to give up. They found another way to make their voices heard.

Then, this past weekend, I watched three of my younger Scouts take on a new challenge. Although they had taught before, this was their first time teaching cooking skills to younger Webelos Scouts.

They had to step into the role of instructors, share what they knew, demonstrate new skills, and guide younger Scouts through the process.

Different circumstances, different challenges, but a common thread: BRAVERY.

Being brave doesn't always mean doing something extraordinary or standing in the spotlight. Sometimes, bravery is walking a little farther when the road gets harder. Sometimes, it's standing up for what you believe in. And sometimes, it's a young Scout stepping forward to teach something new, even when the experience is unfamiliar.

As a Scoutmaster, these moments remind me why we give young people opportunities to lead, learn, and grow. We don't develop confident leaders by shielding them from every challenge. We help develop them by preparing them, encouraging them, and trusting them to take that next step.

And that brings me back to today's calendar and its word: HOPEFUL.

Hope isn't simply wishing for a better tomorrow. It's believing in the possibilities ahead and investing in the people who will help create that tomorrow.

This October, as we focus on being BRAVE, I'm reminded that courage and hope go hand in hand. It takes courage to face the present, and hope to believe in what comes next.

So today, I am hopeful.
Hopeful for our young people. Hopeful for the leaders they are becoming. Hopeful that the values we teach and the examples we set will help them navigate whatever lies ahead.

Sometimes, the calendar aligns and gives us the reminder we need.
Be brave. Keep hoping. Give young people room to grow.
