Being good to others

Life is meant to be enjoyable for you and others. Rules for games are often made so everyone is treated fairly and everyone has a chance to enjoy themselves. Try to think of playing by the ‘rules of life’.

Do this quiz every now and again to see how well you are going. Answer (T) True; (F) False; or (S) Sometimes.

I am quick to help a friend who needs help.
I offer help to someone who needs it, even if I’m not so keen on or I don’t know them.
I try to speak first to someone who is new to BB. I can think of 3 things
I did for someone this week without being asked. I am respectful to others.
I never speak unkindly about others.
I like to cheer someone up who is feeling sad.
I don’t get very upset when I don’t get my own way.
I can share my things happily with others.
I try to talk to people that don’t seem to fit in.

Think of others as you want them to think about you. Say only things about others that you want others to say about you. Don’t behave in ways that hurt or might hurt others. Be brave to be good. People will like you better that way.

Telling others about BB
You are one of the lucky ones—you are already in the B.B.— but what about your friends at school, Sunday School and other Boys who live near you? They would enjoy themselves too, if you brought them along to the next time your Section meets. This is how Brigade keeps on growing - friends telling friends about it.
