J. Complete the Character Connection for Respect.

1. Know. As you learn about how Cub Scout-age life was like for adults
you know, does what you learn change what you think about them. Tell how it
might help you respect or value them more.
2. Commit. Can you think of reasons others might be disrespectful to
people or things you value? Name one new way you will show respect for a
person or thing someone else values.
3. Practice. List some ways you can show respect for people and events
in the past.

Note: For requirement we will start a Bear Den Scrap book. Each
Bear Scout will bring a baby picture and a current picture for the scrap
book. If there is no current picture available we will take
one. For requirement H each Bear Scout should bring some history about
Philadelphia or their neighborhood. Bring a brief

paragraph to share.
