Did you know that you can look through either end of a pair of binoculars? If you look through the wrong end, everything is very tiny and distant. You don’t see things the way they should be seen. The binoculars make the view look worse instead of better. But if you use them the right way you see things as they are supposed to be seen. In fact, you even get a better perspective of how things look, things look closer and clearer.

As we take this year’s scouting journey, think about how you look at achievements and badges, people and things in everyday life. Do you see them distorted and distant or do you see them in the best possible light? Remember, “Look well and “Do your best”!
