Hi Susan,
Here are pages 14 and 15. It is the text with a bracketed string showing
the page break location. Let me know if you need anything more.
Acceptance and Respect
You are important. Of all the billions of people in the world, no two are
exactly alike. There is no one else like you. You are special. Without you,
your family would not be the same. You are important to your family, because
you fill a special place in your family that no one else can fill.
Part of growing up is learning to accept and respect yourself and
others. It is important to recognize that each person has strengths and
limitations. Each person has some talents, gifts, or strengths that makes
him or her unique. Everyone should respect these qualities and
understand how they can make positive contributions to family life.
There are many ways you can add to the strength, happiness, and
well-being of your family. Ask yourself the following questions.
? Do you live by the Scout Law and set a good example for
other family members?
? Are you dependable and honest?
? As a Scout, are you always prepared to help your family
members, neighbors, and friends in an emergency?
? Do you have a positive attitude that makes others enjoy
being with you?
? Do you understand and respect the unique structure and
style of your family?
? Do you understand the importance of your family to the
community and society?
? Do you understand the traits and skills needed to make your
family stronger?
? Do you enjoy helping care for younger family members such
as reading to them or teaching them to do worthwhile things?
? Do you help carry on family traditions?
? Do you let other family members know you care about them
and appreciate what they do for you?
? Are you willing to help around the house?
? Do you offer to help without being asked?

Mutual Trust
Your parents or guardians know you better than anyone else. They know your
strengths and weaknesses. They know what things might tempt you.
They have probably set guidelines to help protect you, help you grow, and
help you make thoughtful decisions.
What does trust mean to you? Perhaps you think it means that you should
be permitted to go anywhere and do
whatever you want to do. That's not really trust. However, if you make good
decisions and show that you keep your word
and follow the guidelines set by your parent or guardian, you prove that you
can be trusted.
Side note:
Trust is something that must be earned. You can earn trust by keeping your
word and by being truthful, reliable, unselfish, and caring. Remember, being
trustworthy is one of the 12 points of the Scout Law.
