A Scout follows the rules of his family, school, and troop. He obeys the laws of his community and country. If she thinks these rules and laws are unfair, she tries to have them changed in an orderly manner rather than disobeying them.
A Scout understands the purpose of rules and laws. But a Scout also tries to change unjust rules, so that things can be better for everybody. Here are some ideas for the seventh point of the Scout Law. Add your own ideas about how “A Scout Is Obedient” to the comments.
Scout spirit is mentioned in several of the requirements for Scouts BSA ranks. But what is Scout spirit and how does a Scout go about demonstrating it?
The Tenderfoot Scout spirit requirements provide an opportunity for a Scout to show how he puts the Scout Oath and Law into action in his everyday life. He will talk to his Scoutmaster and complete a Board of Review to complete the requirements for Tenderfoot.
This prayer is attributed to Lord Baden-Powell himself. B-P clearly believed that faith was an important component of his Scouting program. So while Scouting is not specific to any particular faith, there is a spiritual aspect to it. This prayer, based on the Scout Law, would be appropriate for most groups of Scouts.
In order to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, a young man or woman must be able to show that he or she has lived up to the ideals of Scouting. He or she must also provide several letters of recommendation.
The First Class Scout spirit requirements provide an opportunity for a Scout to show how he or she puts the Scout Oath and Law into action in his everyday life. He or she will talk to his Scoutmaster and complete a Board of Review to complete the requirements for First Class.
This is one of DS's favorite scout songs. We hear this one a lot at camp, on hikes, and on hayrides. I'll warn you that when they start singing this, they tend to sing it over and over and over again. The best I can describe the tune is that it is sort of a rap style tune.
Second Class Scout spirit requirements provide an opportunity for a Scout to show how he puts the Scout Oath and Law into action in everyday life. She will talk to her Scoutmaster and complete a Board of Review to complete the requirements for Second Class.
Scouts of all ages need to learn the Scout Law. This classic song will help them remember the twelve points of the Scout Law and to understand what the points mean.
It seems to go without saying that we should follow the law. Clearly we aren’t going to take our Scout unit out and rob a bank – no matter how dire the fundraising needs! But what about that fishing outing coming up? Have we checked into the local licensing regulations and made sure that everyone who needs a fishing license will have one?
Basically, this means if you need a permit, get one. When our troop has a fire in the fire ring at our local city park, we are required to get a fire permit from the city. Would anyone say anything if we just built the fire? Probably not, but the permit is required by ordinance so we always get one.
