Boy Scout Troop 261

BSA

Troop 261 Motto "Yes I Will":
When a scout or adult says "Yes I Will", it means
they are going above and beyond the Scout Oath
and Law. It means they can be counted on to do
their part to make the troop successful. When given
a task, they will complete that task, or will ask for
help.

	A Scout is clean. A Scout keeps his body and mind fit. He chooses the company of those who live by high standards. He helps keep his home and community clean. You can’t avoid getting dirty when you work and play. But when the game is over or the job is done, that kind of dirt washes off with soap and water. There’s another kind of dirt, though, that can’t be scrubbed away. It is the kind that shows up in fowl language and harmful thoughts and actions. Swear words and dirty stories are often used as weapons to ridicule other people and hurt their feelings. The same is true of racial slurs and jokes that make fun of ethnic groups of people with physical or mental limitations. A Scout knows there is no kindness or honor in such tasteless behavior. He avoids it in his own words and deeds.
