Thoughts about your Gray Scarf


The Scarf program is meant to challenge you to grow into the best person you can be in all areas of your life. All members of the Scarf Society progress through the colors by thoughtfully and prayerfully choosing to accept the challenge for which they are ready.

Requirements for the Gray Scarf:
You may choose to accept the challenge of the Gray Scarf if it is your first time at camp and you are under 12 years of age.

The challenge of the Gray Scarf
is to be a good citizen and a helpful camper.

As you prepare to accept the challenge of the Gray Scarf with One Shield we would like you to think about some of the words to the following songs:

 


 

The Gray Scarf Anthem

    Let me be a little kinder,
        Let me be a little blinder
    To the faults of those around me.
        Let me praise a little more.
    Think a little more of others,
        And a little less of me.


 
America the Beautiful

Oh beautiful, for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood,
From sea to shining sea!
 
Circle the words in these songs that help you understand the challenge of the Gray Scarf.
 


 

Think about the following questions, and write down your ideas in the space below (or on the back of this page) so you don’t forget them for your talk with your Counselor and at the scheduled Scarf discussion meeting.
 


 

How do you feel when people are not kind to you?

Can you think of three different things you can do as a camper to be kinder to other campers? To your Counselor?

What can you do here at camp and at home to show others that you care about this beautiful world?

What can you do here at camp and at home to show others that you care about them?

What can you do to take care of yourself at camp? (your body? Your mind? Your spirit?)
