CITIZENSHIP "THIRD"
Continued from page 27
With that someone standing in the
inner-office doorway handed Don a
dictionary. He flipped the pages to:
"Citizenship—1: "The status of being
a citizen."
That doesn't tell you very much ex-
cept its meaning in the legal sense.
2: The quality of an individual's re-
sponse to membership in a commu-
nity."
"Think about it a minute," Don said.
"Citizenship is the quality of an indi-
vidual's response to membership in a
community."
"Yah," Larry agreed. "Good citizen-
ship would be a positive response to
your community, in other words sup-
porting your community, your state,
your country. That's just what I've
been saying."
George saw it a little differently.
"It means," he said, "responding to
your community or country in a posi-
tive way to make it a better place to
live."
But Don had thought it through
further than either of them.
"As far as you go, you're both
right," he said. "Good citizenship
means supporting and improving your
community or country. The two are not
necessarily always the same either.
What one person sees as pointing out
a shortcoming in order to improve it,
someone else may see as an attempt to
belittle and tear down. But that's the
beauty of democracy. Everyone need
not agree."
Speaking slowly, quietly, Don was
moving rapidly to his point.
"In a democracy, citizenship means
you accept the fact your view will not
always prevail. It also means that when
it does, you permit and respect minority
views. But the main point is that you
have a view and a response. Citizen-
ship requires that you participate, that
you fully belong, that you see your-
self as a part of the community or
nation or society or any group of which
you are a member.
"Isn't that the opportunity woven
through all of Scouting? It isn't this
part of Scouting or that part. It's the
whole thing. All of Scouting, not just
one-third." E3

UNIT MONEY-EARNING PROJECT
Although there is already tremen-
dous readership of Boys' Life maga-
zine, many boys are not members
of Scout units and do not have
access to this wonderful magazine.
Boys' Life has made available spe-
cial sales materials for Scout unit
use in order to:
1. Provide a money-earning
project for Scout units.
Generous commissions are
provided.
2. Make Boys' Life available
to the many boys who are
not registered as members
of the Boy Scouts of Amer-
ica. Doctor and dentist
offices, barbershops, par-
ents and relatives of boys
are also prime prospects.
