How does it make everyone feel?\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Caside\u003EIf people are stuck for ideas, they could think about the message that people are just as valuable as their group, and their group is only as valuable as they are.

The person leading the activity might need to help people remember if they\u2019re unsure.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E6. Everyone should write the name of their country in the next circle.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E7. In the final circle, everyone should write the world. This reminds everyone that they\u2019re part of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) \u2013 when people join a section and make their Promise, they become a member of this global family.
