    Setting Standards

    As Scouts and as school students, you spend a lot of time meeting standards. In school your work may be graded on a scale from A through F. In Scouting you're asked to meet a set of standards before you can earn a merit badge or a new rank.
    These are pretty clear cut standards. Either you can tie a bowline and perform rescue breathing or you can't. There's nothing inbetween.
    We have other standards in this troop that are harder to measure. I'm talking about our standards for behavior, dress and grooming, and Scoutlike conduct.
    Soon we're going to summer camp (or on tour) and these standards will be particularly important then. I'm not saying they are not important all the time. But in summer camp (or on tour) you're not just John Smith, you're representing this troop and the whole Boy Scouts of America.
    I hope you'll all remember that and do your best to be neat and clean, wear your uniform when it is appropriate, and above all, conduct yourselves as Scouts should.
    That doesn't mean you have to be a goody two shoes. There's a time for horseplay, getting mussed up, and teasing. But in this troop the standard is that when the horseplay and games are over, we look like Scouts, sound like Scouts, and conduct ourselves by the Scout Law.
