Scoutmaster Minute - Key to Scouting Minute

(Required: Set of Keys) As you can see, I have my keys here in my hand. I've got a key for my car, one for my house, this one's for a padlock, this one I have no idea, this one fits my Corvette, no just kidding! But, I've got keys that let me access important things in my life. Without them, doors are locked to me and I miss out.

(Hold up Scout Handbook) This is quite a key as well. The values in this small book will open many, many doors to you - not just in scouting, but when you have moved away and are on your own. What you learn and take to heart in the few years you are in this troop can be your key to many opportunities.

So, don't forget your key at home!
