The Aims of Scouting
Character The qualities in a young man that
scouting is trying to develop are confidence,
honesty, moral values and a high sense of
responsibility. Citizenship Citizenship not
only includes respect for one's country and his
heritage, but a recognition of the rights of all
people. Fitness Not only physical fitness is
important, but moral and emotional fitness are
also important to a scout.

The Boy Scout Badge
The shape of the Scout badge means that a Scout
can point the right way in life as truly as does
a compass in the field.
The badge is shaped like the north point of an
old compass and resembles a trefoil- a flower
with three leaves known as a fleur-de-lis, which
means lily in French.
There are two stars on the badge. They symbolize
truth and knowledge.
The eagle and shield stand for freedom and a
Scouts readiness to defend that freedom.
There scroll bearing the Scout motto is turned up
at the ends as a reminder that a Scout smiles as
he does his duty.
The three points of the trefoil stand for the
three parts of The Scout Oath.
The knot at the bottom of the scroll Represents
the Scout slogan, Do a Good Turn Daily.
