The Boy Scout slogan is “Do a good turn daily.”

It’s about helping others.  Every day.  Even when the snow is accumulating at a clip of three inches per hour and visibility is near zero.

As the parent of both an Eagle and a Life Scout, I wasn’t surprised when my boys ventured across the street to help a neighbor and his wife clear the snow from their driveway.  They could sense my neighbors were overwhelmed with the volume of snow Mother Nature had dumped on their driveway.  So, off they went, trudging across the street with snow shovels in hand.  They worked quickly and quietly, saying very little.   When the driveway was cleared, my neighbors thanked them profusely and my boys came home. They wanted nothing in return, other than the satisfaction of helping someone else and doing a good turn.
