Chaperones are asked to model behavior that reflects the six pillars of character. What are these?
The six pillars of character come from the Josephson Institute of Ethics CHARACTER COUNTS! program, which has been widely used in 4-H. The pillars include trustworthiness (being honest, reliable and loyal), respect (treating others with respect, being considerate, dealing peacefully with disagreements), responsibility (following through, being accountable and self-disciplined), fairness (being open-minded, listening to others, taking turns and sharing), caring (being kind, compassionate and helpful), and citizenship (doing your share to improve your community, cooperating and being a good neighbor).
