Thoughts to Ponder Badge, Book And Candle
(Place a Scout badge, The official Scout Handbook, and a lighted candle on a table)Â Scouts, since 1910 these three things have been significant in the Boy Scouts of America. The badge is the symbol of Scouting throughout the United States. Similar badges are used by Scouts all over the world. It is the sign of a universal brotherhood of men and boys of the free world. There are many books that are important to good Scouts; the handbooks to help us with Scoutcraft skills; the merit badge pamphlets with information about special skills; and, most important of all, the Bible to guide our daily lives. A candle is a symbol of the light of Scouting that penetrates the darkness of hate, prejudice, war, strife, and distrust. It is a light that must be kept burning in the heart of every Scout, now, and as he grows into manhood. |
