4.2.3.2. NOT measured by counting meetings or by the uniform
Required Often forgotten
The Guide says plainly that Scout spirit is not measured by counting meetings and outings attended, or by whether a uniform was worn. It is indicated by the way the Scout lives daily life.
Notes and warnings
Warning. "Scout spirit" refers to ideals and values; it is not the same as "school spirit". A troop that scores it from an attendance register or from who wore the uniform is measuring something else.
