A Recipe for America

For:
CM (Cub Master), 7 scouts

Props:
Boys are holding up card with flags of different countries. Boys are wearing costumes from other countries. As each card is turned around, the word America is spelled out.

CM:
Here is a recipe that we all should live by.

#1: 1 cup of friendly words

#2: 2 heaping cups of understanding

#3: 2 cups of human kindness

#4: 2 heaping tablespoons of time and patience

#5: 1 dash of gentle humor

#6: 1 pinch of spice of life

#7: 1 drop of warm personality

CM:
Measure words carefully. Add cups of understanding, to a pint of human kindness. Sift together time and patience. Cook very slow and keep temperature low so it never boils over. Season with gentle humor, warm personality and spice of life. Serve in individual molds.

We are free in American to worship our own God, vote for whomever we want. In some countries these freedoms are not possible. In some countries being a member of Scouts is forbidden. Here in America we are free. And, - "I’m proud to be a member of the Boy Scouts of America." And, I hope we can all live with this recipe.
