COT:
Of all the benefits I received from scouts, one of the most impactful was the system of virtue it embedded in my person. The tenets of the scout oath and law provided a good working standard for my young life by which I could usefully evaluate a situation and choose a course of action. While my faith was still developing, they gave me something I understood well enough to use, and they still provide good guideposts.

I have often reflected on how F3 in many ways gives me as an adult similar benefits that scouting gave me as a youth. Likewise, in the area of leadership, F3 provides a set of virtues that can serve as useful guideposts. These are:
Candor, commitment, consistency, contentment and courage.
If you have never read these five articles in the Q source, I would encourage you to, because, when understood, I think they do a good job of going deeper than the surface level virtue we often settle for.
