Messengers of Peace

Scouts do good turns and help others because it is part of the Scout Promise and Law. It is also because it is nice to help others and to make a difference, even if it is only a small action.

Whenever we are kind to people we send a message of love and peace, making a difference to the recipients and also ourselves. It just feels good.

Remember: some of your Special Interest Area projects may also qualify as Messengers of Peace projects.
