English Summary English SummaryEditorial
We are scouts by our deeds but also by our words. In general finns tend to be
hyperinterested of what people abroad think of them but this seems not to be
the case with the scouts. In contrary to this reality we should be perhaps more
interested of our public image but at least we should be thinking what we are
saying aloud and to whom. Scouting is for us the best way of life but we should
keep in mind that we have to talk and write so that we won't be misunderstood.

older leaders. We should act nd behave perhaps more like a team and take responsibility
