What is a Scout
He enjoys a hike through the woods more than he does a walk over the city streets.He knows the stars by name and can find his way by them.
When he walks through the woods, he sees things others do not see.
He speaks softly and answers questions modestly.
He knows a braggart but does not challenge him.
His sense of honor is his only taskmaster, and his honor he guards as jealously as did the knights of old.
A Scout practices self-control, for he knows that men who master problems in the world must first master themselves.
A Scout never flinches in the face of danger. He must be alert to preserve his safety and that of others.
He desires a strong body, an alert mind, and an unconquerable spirit.
Always to "Be prepared".
