On Sunday morning of a camp-out, scouts do a service called "Scout's Own". This is because they will not be able to make it to church. There are a few songs, and some inspirational reading.
One of the readings we did talked about the things scouts need to be. I took special note of the part that said "Scouts are cheerful". Dad is always cheerful, but about half the time Pete is Mr. Grump. Dad tried mentioning this to Pete one afternoon when he was being especially grumpy.
Dad: "Remember, scouts are supposed to be cheerful"
Pete: "I'm not a scout right now"
Sigh. Well, it was worth a try.
