SCOUT PRINCIPLES

First OF all, boy who becomes n
member of the Roy Scouts OF America
must take an oath. That's II perfectly
natural. thing. The knights of the
Round Table swore an oath and so did
the pirates that sailed the Spanish
Main So the BOY Scout pledges him
SELF
/. 10 do my duty to God and my
country and obey the Scout Law.
>. To help other people at all times.
g. To keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake and morally
straight.
The Scout Law referred TO In the
oath covers twelve points: A Scout
is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful Friend
~, Courteous, Kind Obedient, Cheer
full, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and ReNcr'
ent.
There are virtues that appeal to the
spirit of chiMlry that lives In the
heart Of every boy, and when enhanced
hy the SucrcdncsS Of Il solemn boyiSh
oath they have II gripping appeal that
works wonders in the growing cllar'
acter. With these virtues firmly plant
ed In boys mind and II habit OF his
daily life during his formative years
there Is little danger of his forsaking
them entirely In later life.
These virtues are made vital by Il
program of activities which gives
boy IN opportunity To put them into
actual practice. He Is given commits
sions TO perform and Is trusted "on
his honor us a scout" 10 carry them ln-
To effect. The teutu, of service TO
others Is emphasized by encouraging
scouts to do "a good turn" To somebody
every day. This good turn idea is
taken very seriously. Ii has inspired
thousands of boys to the point where
they volunteer TO wash dishes and tehd
babies. And there can he no seNerrr
test than that The idea of thrift Is
driven home by requiring II scout To
earn and deposit money In II bank be-
fore he can advance from the rank oil
Tenderfout To that of Second Class
Scout and from the latter to the COW
eted position Of First Glass Scout
Bravery is expected of scouts as II
matter of course-moral bravery rs
well AS bravery of spirit.
The scout principles are made in
teresting by hiking, camping, first aid
knot tying, woodcrgft, handicraft' plo-
neering. and all the other things OF
the same character that boys like To
do. But no activity is included IN me
Boy Scout program without good
reason: each must serve It's purpose
in contributing something To the char
acter development of the boy. Scout
activities and the scout oath ana law
are So closely interviewer that II is
impossible to separate them.

Community clubs play an important
I part In the development of civilization.
They present the greatest of oppor-
tunlties for the cooperation Of town

the welfare Of all that otherwise
would tot be done.
This nrousing Of common interest
in comnon interests brings the mem
hers of the community closer together

In mo\ cmcnts Of this character every
small town should feel vitality inter
ested, for It can extend It's trade ter
rltory many miles by uniting with the
farmers In community welfare work.
