evmori Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Just to set the record straight - I think every Scout should own a uniform and a handbook. I think every Scout should know the Oath & Law by memory. Never stated anything different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMT224 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Perhaps it's Troop culture. Just as the sun rises in the east, Scouts in our Troop know that a BOR requires a full uniform, book, and recitation of both the Law & Oath. No one complains or tries to do differently. It's just the way it is. They also know they will not be re-tested, that they will be asked some friendly questions about their advancement, what they see coming next, and have a chance to talk about what's good & bad in the Troop. Overall, I think the Scouts are proud to show up looking good and proud they can say the Law and Oath from memory. There is nothing wrong with holding boys to a standard. They can handle it.
