AMERICA'S ANSWER SPL: Troop Attention. Scout 1: America needs men with a concern for the common good -- men who have the understanding and insight to help solve her problems and those of the changing world around us. She needs citizens of integrity who value their great heritage and who are determined to pass on to others an enduring faith in the ideals and methods of our free society. Scout 2: How does a boy come to know and to appreciate his heritage as a citizen of this nation? How does his sense of responsibility and his concern for others unfold? Begin with him when he is a Cub Scout as he promises with all the solemnity of an 8-year old "to do my duty to God and my country..." Watch the pride and loving care with which he handles the flag as he is taught to fold it. He may not fully understand all that it stands for, but someday he will... with help. Scout 3: Observe him later as he stands tall, alert and proud in his khaki uniform as the flag is lowered at Scout camp. He is living everyday experiences as a good citizen and showing concern for the needs of others. He is growing and practicing the fundamentals of citizenship. All of this time he is under the friendly guidance and companionship of men who care about him. Scout 4: Now he is grown tall, in high school. A Venturer. He ponders the words of the Venturing Code. There is conviction in his voice as he says: "I will treasure my American heritage and will do all I can to preserve and enrich it." And so this young American comes to manhood. He has grown through his Scouting experiences and though the influences of many men and women who have helped him. He has a job and a family and is making himself count in his community. He is a citizen of a great nation. He understands his heritage and cheerfully accepts his future obligations to all men. He has been a Scout. He is America's answer! PL: Would come up and lead us in the Scoutmaster s Benediction. SPL: Troop dismissed. Scoutmaster s Benediction
