NO. 4•FEBRUARY - 2011
When we buy a sound equipment we look for the high fidelity. That means that the sound from the equipment is the same as the source that generates the original sound. If we play a song from a CD, the high fidelity makes that we can heard this song from the equipment as the singer and the orchesta are side by us. The same means when we talk about the Fidelity or the Loyality of a person. A loyal person is who is the same all the time and he or she can keep his or her commitments and his or her ideals. A scout is loyal. Loyality in Scouting is the same for our leaders and for the people who follow us. A scout is loyal with his parents, with God and specially with him/herself. We are loyal to them being trustworthy and coherent. We have to act in the same way all the time. More even when anybody are watching us. We know well the bad habit of talking bad about someone who is not present. It is like a game. We enjoy the meetings talking about who is absent. We are not loyal when we play this game. We have to avoid this bad habit, we have to talk only fine about the others and avoid to talking bad when they are not present. Loyality to ourselves is very important, we can fool others but no to ourselves. Our convictions and our values have to be the same all the time. If we keep the promises done to ourselves we can keep the promises done to others. Let us to start being loyal with ourselves. Let us to demostrate that we can be the same person all the time acting according our thoughts and values allways. If we can do this we can see that we can be loyal with others and then get their trust. Yours in Scouting Raúl Sánchez Vaca Regional Director World Scout Bureau Interamerican Region
