The focus of the lower ranks of Scouting is on learning individual skills and how to apply them. As a Life Scout, boys should be giving more leadership and direction than they receive. Life Scouts are looked to by other Scouts, and by the Troop Committee, to set an example for others, to provide leadership, to share the responsibilities of the troop, and to demonstrate “Scout Spirit.”
