What is brave? Is it standing up for what you believe, maybe protecting yourself, or defending your country? The best answer I heard from a Scout happened to be a Webelos who said, “Just saying no” to drugs. Maybe it's letting others know that senseless violence and theft are wrong? Possibly it recognizes there are many beliefs out there some Christian and others with their own beliefs, so would it be brave to strongly and proudly believe in your own beliefs but at the same time respect and understand someone else, even if they may be different then your own?
We are all different but also have so many things in common. Friends can be friends, even if they don’t agree 100% on everything and they can respect and understand where the other person is coming from. Isn’t that part of being friendly, courteous, and kind?
