First Class Scout badge

• The trefoil means that a scout can point the right way in life as truly as a compass can in the field.

• The three points, like the fingers of the Scout sign, stand for the three parts of the Scout Oath: duty to God and country, duty to others, and duty to self.

• The two stars symbolize truth and knowledge, and the outdoors in Scouting.

• The eagle with the shield stands for freedom and a Scout's readiness to defend that freedom.

• The scroll with the Scout motto is turned up at the ends. It is a hint that a Scout smiles as he does his duty.

• The knot at the bottom of the scroll is a reminder to Do a Good Turn Daily.

Scout: I really like the chocolate caramel corn and the butter popcorn that I can make myself in the microwave.

Telecommuter: Ooh. Sounds good. I think I'll order some.

Scout: Would you like to buy a few extra cans to give to your friends?

Telecommuter: Great idea — I have some clients that would like this stuff. When do I pay for all this?

Scout: You could pay me now. That would help me a lot. When I deliver your order I could just leave it here on the doorstep if you are not home.

Telecommuter: Okay. Let me find my checkbook. Come on in while you're waiting.

Scout: No thank-you. I'll wait out here. Telecommuter

Scout Parent: I'm afraid not. It's getting dark so you have to stop selling for tonight.

Knock on door

Scout: I'm sorry sir, I can't come back later today. Could you order some popcorn anyway?

Dad: Well, okay. I was a scout myself and I remember how hard I worked to sell things to earn money.

Scout: Thank-you. Here are the items we are selling.Dad: Hmm. I love caramel corn so I'll get some of

that. And I always eat regular popcorn while I watch the football games.

Scout: Maybe you would enjoy the 3-way tin over the Thanksgiving holiday?

Scout: Yes it is. There were a lot of requests for it last year but you could only get it in the variety pack. This year it comes in it's own box.
