Scoutmaster's Minute

A Scout is Trustworthy
A Scout is Loyal
A Scout is Helpful
A Scout is Friendly
A Scout is Courteous
A Scout is Kind
A Scout is Obedient
A Scout is Cheerful
A Scout is Thrifty
A Scout is Brave
A Scout is Clean
A Scout is Reverent

This is the Scout Law, and living the Scout Law is something that a Scout should not only do while being a Scout but what he should do everyday of his lives. So with that being said I have a question for everyone. Could you tell me what the most important word in the Scout law is?

The answer is ‘
IS

The Scout Law doesn’t say a Scout “Might be”, or “Could Be” or Even “Should be’, It says A Scout “IS”. That means the basic Character of a Scout includes those characteristics. So come and join us and be a Scout so that you can find out yourself why the word “IS” is the most important word of the Scout Law.

Yours in Scouting,
Mark Loughner, Scoutmaster
Troop 1559
