Product Description

This book, produced to inspire everyone but especially those involved in scouting, focuses on the 12 values of Scout Law: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, Booker T. Washington, Henry David Thoreau, Aristotle, Emily Dickinson, and Theodore Roosevelt are some of the many timeless voices who offer hope and wisdom to readers of all ages. Here's a sample: "If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything." "Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which one has overcome while trying to succeed." "We are what we repeatedly do."

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for all Scouter's, January 31, 2003

By	Steve Harper (Hutchinson, KS United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mr. Flaherty has captured the very essence of what Scouting is all about. He has used his extensive Scouting experience to put in writing many thought provoking and easy to remember core values.

He has found a way to look at our heritage and use quality quotes from the past to enhance our everyday lives. I find this book a must read for all young men. Great item to keep by the nightstand for future reference and reflection.
