SCOUT PRINCIPLES

First of all. boy who becomes a member of the Boy Scouts of America must take an oath. That's 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:
 l. To do my duty to God and my country and obey the Scout Law.
 2. To help other people at all times.
 8. To keep myself physically strong. mentally awake and morally straight.
 The Scout Law referred to in the oath covers twelve points: Scout Is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friend- lv, Courteous, Kind, Obedieat, Cheer full. Thrifty, Brave. Clean and Rever- ent.
 There are virtues that appeal to the spirit of chivalry that lives in the heart of every boy, and when enhanced by the sacredncss of solemn boylsh oath they have Il gripping appeal that works wonders in the growing char acter. With these virtues firmly plant ed in boys mind and 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 program of activities which gives boy an opportunity to put them into actual practice. He Is given eotnmlS- sions to perform and Is trusted "on his honor as scout to carry them in in effect. The feature of service to others is emphasized by encouraging scouts to do "a good turn 10 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 tend babies. And there can he no severer test than that, The idea of thrift Is driven home hy requiring scout 10 earn and deposit money in Il bank be- fore he can advance from the rank or Tenderfoot to that of Second Class Scout and from the latter to the COW eted position of First Class Scout. Bravery IS expected ol s1VusS "' matter of course--moral bravery as well as bravery of spirit.
 The scout principles are made in- teresting by hiking. camping, first aid, knot tying, wooderaft, handieraft pio- neerine. and ull the other things Of the same character that boys like to do. But no activity is included in the Boy Scout program without good reason: each must serve its purpose in contributing something to the char acter development of the boy, Scout activities and the scout oath and law are so closely intcrwoven that it Is Impossible to separate them.
