| Scoutmaster: |
Honored guests, ladies and gentlemen, Troop 272 believes
earnestly in the Scout motto, "Be Prepared", and in the ideals of
service as given in the Scout slogan, "Do a Good Turn Daily". We meet
regularly to practice the skills of Scouting and to have fun. From time to time
we go hiking and camping so we might learn more of the great outdoors and at the
same time develop qualities of health and self-realiance. In Scouting, as in the
game of football or any other sport or activity, we must have rules. The rules of
Scouting are found in the twelve points of the Scout Law. As I light each of the
twelve candles in front of me, representing the twelve points of the Scout Law, I
would like to have the troop repeat these points after me. |
