TO BE A SCOUT

E. B. D., in The Scribe. Bay City Mich He wasn't q scout. though he wore
 the pin, For the scouting program had never
 soaked in; He claimed a troop and registered
 name, But he never had learned to play the
 game. He tied the knots and he ran the
 pace, He knew the code and kept smile
 on his face; He built his fire, he boiled the pot But that is just as far as he got. He learned the oath, It's parts he
 knew, But the inner meaning had never
 soaked through. For if it had and he meant what he
 said. He'd have been our pride Ike the
 sacred dead. You can't be scout by joining a :,
 troop; It's more than club and some to boot. You'll have to GO something not every
 boy can, For you've got to begin to be a man
