Was Santa Claus a Scout? Minute
Script:
With the holidays upon us, I thought tonight I would try to answer an age-old question regarding Santa Claus.
Was Santa Claus a Scout?
One just needs to examine how he stacks up against the scout law;
Trustworthy - You certainly can trust that Santa will show up every year.
Loyal -
He's very dedicated to his craft and his mission. Imagine the disappointment if he wasn't loyal to his work.
Helpful - saves many a dad from last minute shopping. Dads are notorious for leaving things to the last minute, just ask a mom.
Friendly - how many adults would let a zillion kids sit on their lap and listen to what they want? And smile while doing it?
Courteous - always says thanks for the 62 billion calories he gets in milk and cookies each year.
Kind - delivering gifts to children is a great act of kindness. Except for the drum sets. That's not too kind, at least to the parents.
Obedient - I emailed Mrs. Claus on this one. No reply, but seeing he's been married for all those years, I'm going to bet he does what she tells him.
Cheerful - Ho ho ho. Need I say more?
Thrifty - makes his own toys. Saves a bundle on shipping alone.
Brave - would you get in a magic sleigh pulled by reindeer and fly? Me neither.
Clean - not sure how he does it, but that red suit looks great even after the millionth chimney has been gone down
Reverent - does his thing on a very special night for one religion; represents the spirit of the day
So yes, Virginia, Santa Clause was really a Scout.
This time of year no matter what holiday you celebrate, remember that doing your best and living the Scout Oath and Law are what make each of you really a Scout.
