The Scout Law says a Scout is: “Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.” These are qualities that make a good Scout and a good person. It’s like a checklist for how to act in different situations.
“Trustworthy”: Being reliable and honest. It means people can count on you to do what you say you’ll do.
“Loyal”: Staying true to your friends, family, and beliefs. It’s about standing by those you care for and what you believe in.
“Helpful”: Willingness to assist others without expecting anything in return. It’s about being useful and providing aid when you can.
“Friendly”: Being nice and approachable. This is about getting along well with others and creating a positive atmosphere.
“Courteous”: Exhibiting good manners and respect towards everyone. Saying “please” and “thank you,” holding doors—that kind of thing.
“Kind”: Going beyond basic courtesy to actively do good for others. It could be anything from sharing your lunch to comforting someone who’s upset.
“Obedient”: Following rules and taking directions from those who are responsible for you, like parents or leaders.
“Cheerful”: Keeping a positive attitude, even when things get tough. This is important for team morale and personal resilience.
“Thrifty”: Being smart with resources like time, money, and even natural resources. This could mean anything from budgeting your money to not wasting food.
“Brave”: Having the courage to do what’s right, even when it might be scary or difficult. It’s about standing up for what you believe in.
“Clean”: This refers to both personal hygiene and clean living. It’s about taking care of yourself and your environment.
“Reverent”: Showing respect for others’ beliefs and for a higher power, as understood in your faith or philosophy.
