Most of us have watched it grow and gain in influence, with great satisfaction. It ia something vital to The American Way and service has gained the conthree its decades, through fidence of all people. ' It would, be difficult to point to any single quality of the Movement and say .with positiveness, Here is what makes Scouting great. But in our judgment one of its outstanding contributions to the nation, pard ticularly in these times of world travail, ia its Twelfth Scout Law. It epitomizes all that we as a people stand for; all that our forefathers pioneered for when they were fashioning a safe homeland out of a wilderness. Read its stirring words. They are worth memorizing and, more than that, they should be lived by all of us who have the high privilege of being Americana. Here ia the Twelfth Scout Law: A Scout is reverent. He is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties, and respects the convictions of others in matters of custom and religion. All Americans worthy of the name, all who believe in the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States have an abiding faith in such a principle because it is their very guarantee that so long as it is a living thing they will always be free and independent. simply-worde- .
