We are a safe place.

This is a safe place. This is mine, this is yours, this is ours.

Nothing can hurt you here. You can be yourself. You can be weak, you can be strong. You can cry, you can laugh. If you cannot reach the stars we will lift you. If you cannot stand, then we'll sit with you. Here you can be yourself, reveal your true face and be loved for it. You don't have to pretend here. We don't care if you are tall or you are short, we don't care if you are smart or you are dumb, we don't care if you can read or not, we don't care how much money you have.

This place is yours and this place is mine.

If you do not know then we will teach you. If you do not have the means then we will give them to you.
Our strength is in our unity, and I will not have that threatened by the actions of one.

Step up, my girl, or step out. I like you but I will not continue to tolerate your actions toward others.
You are making others cry, you are making them hurt, you are intimidating them and I will not allow that.
And so we have struck a verbal agreement, which will soon become a written one, for as you have discovered words have power.
If, on any activity or night it is brought to my attention that you have brought physical or emotional pain to another through any action or word then I will immediately call your parents and you will be sent home.
If it so transpires that you still do not appreciate the seriousness of the situation and you again hurt another through word or action I will again call your parents to collect you. But this time there will be a difference, because I will tell them that you are no longer welcome in our troop.
You could be a driving force here. You could teach the younger ones, you could have them look up to you, you could be a role model. Instead you choose to be lazy, to be a bad example, and to hurt others for no reason. It cannot continue and so I have laid out my conditions and you have agreed. I only hope you meant it.
