Requirement

4.2.3.2. Demonstrate Scout spirit

Required

Members who incorporate the ideals of the Scout Oath, Scout Law, motto and slogan into daily life (at home, at school, in religious life, in their neighbourhoods) are said to have Scout spirit.

Note. The Guide grants that evaluating Scout spirit will always be a judgment call, and suggests getting a feel for it by getting to know the Scout and asking probing questions. It also suggests inviting examples of when the Scout did not live up to the Oath and Law, not to push, but because being able to admit a mistake and still advance is itself the lesson.
