Welcome!

Troop Quotes was originally started as a Twitter account in which Boy Scouts and members of the Venturing, BSA program could get a laugh at common thoughts and ideas, along with quotes from fellow scouts, and yet could share there scouting memories. While the Twitter account remains true to those values, this blog is more. This blog gives you honest experiences and lessons learned by scouts, both adult leaders and youth leaders, along with awesome ideas for camping and activities. So welcome to the all new Troop Quotes!

A Scout is... "Trustworthy"

Trustworthy -- (1)

It's the first point in the scout law. It's the reason the saying "Scout's Honor" exists. A scout is trustworthy.

Being trustworthy is what makes a scout a true leader. It's what makes him loyal. It is the center of his personality.

You should always remember that being trustworthy follows simple principals. One is to not lie. Another is to follow up with what you say by actually doing it. But what is the actual reason that being trustworthy is so important.

Everybody has something called there integrity. It's hard to explain, but its something like your dignity. You should have high expectations for yourself, and when your not living up to them, others and yourself will think less than you. And not being trustworthy is a big turn-off for people. That is why we start with "A scout is... Trustworthy."
