What is Scout Spirit?
Each Scout is expected to have Scout Spirit. This is important to his advancement. BSA changed the wording of this requirement to “Demonstrate Scout Spirit by living the Scout Oath and Scout Law in your everyday life.” Scout Spirit can be demonstrated by cheerfully cooperating with the adult leadership. A boy with Scout Spirit is helpful during camping trips and does his share of the work. He is respectful and attentive during meetings and does what he can to help his troop and fellow Scouts, especially young and new Scouts. Boys who are frequently disruptive or uncooperative may be refused rank advancement based on this requirement.
