What's the fourth point of the Scout Law? That's right - "A Scout is friendly. "
Do you have as many friends as you'd like to have? Real friends, I mean? The kind of guys you're glad to see, and who are glad to see you?
Well maybe not. Lots of us would like to make more friends, but somehow it doesn't seem to happen. Well, the secret of making friends is simple - being friendly. If you're a put-down artist, or if you're always trying to rip off everybody or get the better of them in some way you're not going to have many friends. Nobody likes to be put down or ripped off.
The Bible gives the key to making friends. It's called the Golden Rule - "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. " That's a great rule to remember in everything you do. And it's a perfect prescription for making friends.
