Most Important Word in the Scout Law Minute
This Minute is meant for Scouts BSA.
Script:
What is the most important word in the Scout Law?
Ask for some guesses.
Trustworthy? NO.
Helpful? NO.
Reverant? NO.
(After a few guesses...)
Let me tell you. The most important word in the scout law is "IS".
The Scout Law doesn't say a Scout 'might be', or 'may be' or 'could be' or 'should be' - it says a Scout IS. That means the basic character of a Scout includes those characteristics.
Go be Scouts, Scouts.

Trustworthy? NO.
Helpful? NO.

I've been a scout since, 1965. I am an Eagle Scout and Asst. Scoutmaster, hoping to someday have my own troop. I live my everyday life by the "Scout Law" and "Scout Oath". I believe whole-heartedly in the Boy Scouts of America!!! Y.I.S., Rick Baringer

Which is the most important of the scout laws?

@Lee - I expect you could get 12 different answers to that
question. All 12 points help direct a well-rounded man.
I would lean towards Trustworthy because a trustworthy person is honest, and being honest to yourself and others promotes many of the other points. Which do you think is most important?
