Finish the Story Minute

This Minute is meant for Scouts BSA.

Once upon a time, a family lived in a small town where there was no Scouting organization. It was a very small town. In this family, there was a child who did well in school but was pretty shy.
One day, when the child was just starting 6th grade, the father got a job in another town - it happened to be our town right here. So, the family moved and found a nice house in the neighborhood right next to where our troop meets.
Not long after they moved in, this child saw our troop outside playing a game during one of our meetings. The kid watched from the backyard, being a shy kind of kid.
But, this kid wasn't dumb, and found out when our next meeting would be, and just happened to be sitting on the curb out by the front door before our meeting.
And, there this child sat, bouncing a ball and waiting. Then, a car pulled up and a scout got out, heading to our meeting.
That Scout was you.

And, you'll have to finish the story in your head. Is that child still sitting out there, or did you stop and invite them to join you?

And, one other thing to think about - that kid might not be sitting on the curb out front, but they might be sitting in the desk behind you at school, or in the seat ahead of you on the bus, or playing the trumpet next to you in band.
