STAR, LIFE, AND EAGLE SCOUT

DEMONSTRATE SCOUT SPIRIT

BY NOW, DOING GOODTURNS should be a regular part of your day. You are always on the lookout for ways to help others. By now, Be Prepared should describe your efforts to make the most of educational opportunities, get along with others, and take part m outdoor adventures.

By now, the Scout Oath and the twelve points of the Scout Law should be the guidelines by which you direct your actions in your family, com- munity, church, school, and nation

Living by these high standards is always a personal choice and something only you can fully measure. But by now, many other people should he seeing qualities in you that make it clear you are choosing wisely. 'Your standing as a Scout does not depend so much on the skills of your hands or the badges on your merit badge sash, as on the spirit in your heart-on what you are willing to do for others, on whether you are doing your very best to live the Scout Oath and Law." Boy Scout Handbook, 6th edition, 1959
