The Boy Scout's Code. 1 |( 1. The honor of character, which j is our sacred obligation to keep the * law of our code, is just as binding * upon us when we are r.lone, and there- * fore it must control our most pri- 1 vate acts and secret thoughts. 1 2. Our duty to God is to do what we know is right because it is right and for no other reason. i 3. Our duty to our Country.?Life of nation depends upon strength of i individuals. Our duty to be strong, ^ so we can serve. We can Serve by helping to raise character. We must protect our country against destase carrying pests, flies, mosquitoes, rates and filth. We should have an intel- 1 ligent trust and confidence in those in authority. t 4. The daily good turn is an ob- i ligation of honor intended to teach < us to form the habit cf helping other ( people at all times. j 5. The faithful performance cf our ( everyday duties, for r.o other reason'? K/Vrtonco if iq rifot. will help us j , UjOU MWwwuv ?v . -0 , to be trustworthy in times of special j j trial. 1 6. People who are Icyal tc the i 1 same laws will always be loyal to } one another, and loyalty to the scout , lew among all its members, should ] make the Boy Scout Brotherhood a < strengthening and uplifting power. 7. A Scout must do at least one ; good tun to somebody every day. j. 8. Being friendly means being 1 willing to serve any one a.t any time, without having any axe of our own to grind. ] 9. True courtesy creates a kind of ( sunshine in which good things flourish. 10. Politeness is to do and say, ] th* kindest thing in the kindest way. j 1 11. 'A Scout is kino to animals. !( A Scout is supposed to have train- j ed his intelligence by observation so ( that he can appreciate the difference < between the coarser and the fine ' things of nature. 11 12. A Scout is obedient. It is , very common thing for boys to think 1 that they cannot do tilings when the truth is that they don't want to. ' 13. A Scout is cheerful. The Scout's smile is not only con- ] ^ nected with his manners, but with j his conscience, his endurance, and his ] strength of heart. 14. A Scout is thrifty. He does 1 .Uacrfw>T? nrnnpriv. He WOl'ks ! HVil Vlt.'H \J J |/4vr?. V. faithfully, wastes nothing, and r.iakes < the best of his opportunities. He , saves h:s money so that he may pay his own way, be generous to those j in need, and helpful to worthy ob- ; jects. 1 15. A good Scout would lose more than half the pleasure of their lives ' if their habits of voluntary helpful- j j ness ware turned into a profitable < business. 1 16. A Scout is brave. He has not J only physical but normal courage. ( A brave man does not carry a chip i oi: his shoulder, but is patient of in-1 suit unless it injuries some one else. j 17. Whdh you walk up to anything ] you are afraid of, you usually find ] that it is perfectly harmless. j! 18. A Scout is dean. He keeps J clean in body, and thought, stands for j clean speech, dean sport, clean habits, < and travels with a clean crowd. j1 19. A Scout is reverent He is j V.,'e Mliinnns and 1(?UUUI W mo | < respects the convictions of others in < natter; of custom and religion, j Loyalty to that form of religion from , which we receive the most help to keep us strong is an important duty 1 urder the scout law. j( 20. We may say that reverence ^ brings with it a deep and lasting joy j associated with appreciation and grat- ! itude for all the great and lovely i things of life. 21. Be prepared! means know be- ( forehand, as far as possible, what i ycur difficulties are gcing to be, in ; order that you may be strong to j conquer them successfully when the j time comes. Get the habit of watch- < ful vigilance, alert attention and '! vigorous action. 22. It is by learning and being ' interested in knowing how to do ' things, when there may be no im- j mediate occasion for them,- that we , prepare ourselves to carry them out 1 when serious emergencies arise. ' o ( The Good Turn That Brought Scout- ] ing to America. < An American business man having t temporarily lost his bearings in a < London fog paused on a street coroner. ' A newsy, seeing the gentleman's j dilemma, asked if he could be of any j assistance. The gentleman accepted the boys guidance to his hotel and \ naturally offered the guide a sub- j stantial tip. The boy drew himself , up with dignity and explained that he was a Boy Scout and Boy Scouts d:d not take pay for doing their good turns The gentleman's interest was avoused to the extent that he sought out Bader Powell, the founder of Scouting and Chief of the British Scouts Association, and leaned what this Scouting business really was. When the business man returned to ] America, he interested others in the Scout Movement. The result was that ,he Boy Scouts of America was in:orporated February 8, 1910. On June 15, 1916, Congress granted he organization a special Federal Charter, among other things, giving :he Boy Scouts of America exclusive right to the name and adaptions :hereof, insignia and uniform.
