Motto

Motto The Scout Motto is Be Prepared. You can see these words under the Scout symbol of the fleur de Lys – the three points of this also remind us of the three parts of our Promise. The words are contained in an upturned scroll, which might remind you of a smile - how your mouth should look as you do your duty. B-P chose this motto, because he believed that through observation, training and awareness a Scout should always be prepared to tackle any situation – nothing should catch you by surprise. 5. Take part in a Patrol or Troop activity. This is your opportunity to experience the fun of Scouting and get to know your Patrol before you are invested. This may be arranged by Akela, Skip or by your Patrol Leader. Ideally it should be more than just coming to a weekly Scout meeting, it should involve working together with your new Patrol in something like a hike, a short camp, or on a pioneering project.
