A Scout is Friendly
A Scout is a Friend to All, and a Brother to Every Other Scout, no matter
to what Social Class the Other belongs.
Thus if a scout meets another scout, even though a stranger to him, he
must speak to him, and help him in any way that he can, either to carry out the duty he is then doing, or by giving him food,
or, as far as possible, anything that he may be in want of. A scout must never be a SNOB. A snob is one who looks
down upon another because he is poorer, or who is poor and resents another because he is rich. A scout accepts the other
man as he finds him, and makes the best of him. 'Kim' (from Rudyard Kipling), the boy scout, was called
by the Indians 'Little friend of all the world,' and that is the name that every scout should earn for himself.
(Scouting for Boys, Part 1, Scoutcraft, Lieut.-General R.S.S. Baden-Powell)
What is Boy Scouting?
Boy Scouts of America was incorporated to provide a program
for community organizations that offers effective character, citizenship, and personal fitness training for youth.
Specifically,
the BSA endeavors to develop American citizens who are physically, mentally, and emotionally fit; have a high degree of self-reliance
as evidenced in such qualities as initiative, courage, and resourcefulness; have personal values based on religious concepts;
have the desire and skills to help others; understand the principles of the American social, economic, and governmental systems;
are knowledgeable about and take pride in their American heritage and understand our nation's role in the world; have a keen
respect for the basic rights of all people; and are prepared to participate in and give leadership to American society.
