    Be Prepared for Any Old Thing

    In the past I've sometimes mentioned a man named Robert Baden-Powell, who started Boy Scouting in England more than 95 years ago. He was a most interesting man. If you're curious about him, you can learn a little by reading page 475 of your handbook.
    Anyway, he was once asked about the Scout motto, "Be Prepared." What, he was asked, is a Scout supposed to be prepared for?
    "Why, for any old thing," Baden•Powell replied. That's a tall order. Life holds a lot of surprises and you probably won't be prepared for all of them. But in Scouting you're learning how to deal with most of them. You're prepared to give first aid in an emergency, rough it outdoors, direct a stranger to his destination, give service to our community and the nation, help clean up our environment, and provide many other Good Turns for people.
    Preparing you for life is what Scouting is all about. Learn as much as you can and you'll be ready to meet life's challenges.
