CHARACTER AND YOUR FAMILY
Long before you became a Scout, you began learning about character in your family.
By learning to share with and care for your family members, you started down the road toward good character.
A family provides belonging, support, and love.
For many Scouts, a family is made up of parents and brothers and sisters all under the same roof.
Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins might live nearby or they might be far away, even in other countries.
Perhaps yours is a family with a single parent.
Maybe you share time with parents who live in different places.
Perhaps your family is made up of other relatives or guardians who want the best for you.
What makes a family is not the number of people in it or whether they are related.
More important is that they care for each other and hope to share their lives with one another.
Of course, there may be times when you feel that others in your family don't understand you. You might disagree with the way they do some things.
As you grow older, you will want to be more independent.
The changes you are going through as you become an adult might cause strain at home, but by being patient and putting energy into developing healthy relationships with family members, you can make the most of family life.
Family members can often offer good solutions to problems you are facing.
You might be having difficulty with a subject in school.
Maybe you don't understand why your friends are acting a certain way.
If you ask the adults in your home and your older brothers and sisters, they will usually be able to give you a hand.
