8. A Scout Is Cheerful
He smiles whenever he can. His obedience to orders is prompt and
cheery. He never shirks nor grumbles at hardships.
9. A Scout Is Thrifty
He does not wantonly destroy property. He works faithfully, wastes
nothing, and makes the best use of his opportunities. He saves his

good turns.

clean sport, clean habits; and he travels with a clean crowd.
12. A Scout Is Reverent

respects the convictions of others in matters of custom and religion.
