Scouting Spirit
Scouting Spirit is in everyone of us and it is also something that Scouts of all ages exhibit the in their actions everyday. Scouts are reviewed by the Character Connections and on their trail to Eagle, spirit becomes a crucial part of rank advancement. The Spirit can be from the simplest act of being kind to that of extreme bravery, yet it is also one of the hardest to evaluate. It is evaluated on recommendations and testimonials from those that know a young Scout personally. Send your stories to be displayed on our website to our Marketing Specialist at www.bacbsa.org/contact.
