Suggestions for how kids of all levels can earn the Animal Advocate Patch:

Help your scouts earn the Good Manners Patch by going beyond please and thank you. Use some of our suggestions below and ask the group to come up with their own ideas of what they think demonstrates good manners.

• When meeting someone new introduce yourself and shake hands
• Open door for others
• Offer a seat to someone who is elderly or disabled
• Pick up something someone dropped for them
• When there is a line wait your turn patiently
• Listen when someone is talking and make eye contact to show you are paying attention
• Raise your hand instead of shouting out when in a group
• Write thank you notes
• Practice answering the phone politely
• At meal time or while working with shared supplies, ask for an item to be passed to you instead of reaching over someone or grabbing the item away from another person
