heres to the new to-be-formed PLC of 2009

dear new PLC for Manjusri Red fox Scouts,


i think its with great honor that we have you all on board as the new Patrol Leader Council. From now on you all will lead the red Fox Scouts troop to new and greater heights.

Bear this in mind, all eyes will be upon you.

Uniform groups and other organizations in a perfect world, rank, friendship and kinship can co-exist together.

Unfortunately the world we live is a crazy, mad world, and its far far far from perfect.

In reality, in any organization theres only you, me, the rank and the job. Friendship and kinship will have to take a backseat. So right off the bat you have an up-hill battle, a battle to gain the trust and respect of the people who just a few moments ago were your friends, your peers, your buddy. Emerge victorious from this battle and you will have the trust and confidence of your men.

There will be though decisions to make, though calls to be made under fire. Make sure you have the steel within gentlemen, its a hard heart that kills. If at the heat of the moment you hesitate and falter, your men will lose confidence in you. Do what is right, learn to trust your instincts, do not think for a moment that your new status as PLC members will put you above the responsibilities of looking out for wach other. Your men will be looking upon you to keep them safe and away from dangers be it in scouting or in life. Remember this always:Never put yourself in a position where you can take from your men.

From the day you were sworn in as a scout, you have promised to do your best, and when you all as a whole do your best, no odds are too great for Red Fox Scouts.

As your Assistant Scout Leader, i do hope to see you new PLC take us red Fox Scouts to an all new frontier.
