How to help others

Document Actions

 

Social awareness :

 

- A Rover Scout has developed beyond the stage of simple self-interest and is able to control his personal prejudices. He takes an active interest in his environment, and he is prepared to be of service to others.

  • Help others, whether by taking on a responsibility within scouting or by working for some other organization.
  • Want to learn how the natural community of which he is a part functions: family, profession, region, country etc.
  • Avoid all social or educational sectarianism.
  • Have precise ideas on the matters of marriage and vocation.
  • Prepare himself, if need be, for the responsibilities of a head of family.
  • Be well-balanced and have reached emotional maturity (good relationship with the opposite sex, healthy and Christian life style etc).
  • Maintain the Christian traditions: hospitality, support for the elderly etc.
  • Study the history of his country, its physical and social geography, its administrative structure.
  • Know the essentials about his country's special place in the wider world, and be aware of the crisis of our time.
  • Show respect for his various responsibilities as a citizen: the Highway Code, a clean environment, taxes and duties, national service (if relevant in his country), elections etc.

 

Professional activities :

 

- A Rover Scout is part of the wider society. He strives to apply the social doctrine of the Church in his work.

  • Be aware that his duty to the state is of prime importance.
  • Choose his trade or profession intelligently, according to his talents, without such considerations as conformism or glory.
  • Follow his course of training conscientiously (university, apprenticeship, vocational training etc).
  • Use his free time for worthwhile activities, not just distractions.
  • Know, at least in main outlines:
    • The social teaching of the Church
    • The basic principles of work legislation
  • Make it a duty not to evade responsibilities.
  • Watch that professional demands conform with Christian doctrine and the greater interests of the country.
  • Practice his trade or profession in a humane fashion; be prepared to help, and not become immobilized by administrative procedures and red tape.
