How do we honor our Rangers who achieve their merits/ and ranks, whose behaviors improve over time, or who diligently show up to meetings and events? Do we recognize the significance of their achievements or do we discount them or worse expect more? Consider the boy/girl who just completed his/her rank achievement. Do we reward them by saying, "Good job!" OR "It's About TIME!" How quick we are to judge others and how seldom do we demonstrate true honor and respect to others. One of the best ways we can close a young person's spirit is to make sarcastic jokes, comments or demeaning remarks when they make a mistake or when WE feel they are not working as hard as WE would want them to. It's a difficult thing to consciously be aware of lifting one another up by positive, encouraging words and showing those who are younger than us respect and honor. We preach to our young students to Honor and respect those in authority, yet do we in turn show them the honor due them? When we as adult leaders honor and recognize one of our rangers, we do more than make them feel good. We are actually building them up spiritually and helping them do their best.
