Church in Scouting (from page 18)
family, dating, or whatever the
items of the moment were. I flatter
myself that the sensitivity and mo-
tivation which resulted from these
sessions helped the entire troop to
become more a part of each other
in the Scouting endeavor.
The upshot of all this is to say
that the church can assist Scouting
in rounding a guy out. My God and
Country boys commented that due
to hard work and meeting dead-
lines they were much less round
than before—upon which our portly
assistant Scoutmaster replied,
"Wait 'til forty years from now...
But I do notice a certain roundness
when I talk with these fellows:
some of this accumulated from our
discussions on biblical characters
and legends and philosophies of the
ancient world; more from visiting
with elderly and lower income per-
sons, or following the paths of
blood plasma gathered with the
Red Cross.
There seems to be an inevitable
certitude that civic or community
good deeds are somehow empty
without a deeper purpose or phi-
losophy to make them valid. An act
of kindness rings with an empty
tone—St. Paul would say clashing
cymbal or sounding gong—unless
some idea of a deeper personal
worth pervades it. The church and
its teachings provide a reason for
being vitally alive in an automaton
world. The church can be a step-
ping-stone for Scouting throughout
the world or in the next block, if
the movement itself so chooses.
Otherwise, the church will be just
another hollow institution hanging
about the neck like the proverbial
millstone.
As pastor, Scouter and concerned
observer, I affirm that the church
can be an asset to any Scout unit
that will plug into it. If a unit will
take such an option, I'm sure great
things will result. ■
EDITOR'S NOTE: Pastor King's views do
