Scouting may be a worldwide movement, but that doesn't mean they all recite the same Scout Law. In fact, U.S. and Canadian Scouts recite the shortest versions of it. The U.S. version was initially identical to the British version -- where Boy Scouting had been created three years earlier -- but by the time American Scouting had observed its first birthday, the Scout Law had been modified several times.
Since August 1911, this is the Scout Law recited by American youth: "A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent."
This is one of a series of 12 caches hidden by Frederick BSA Troop 220 to celebrate the Scout Law. Scouts created their own containers and selected their sites to hide their caches, based on their interpretation of how local landmarks exemplify the Scout Law. This cache was hidden by Silas C, a new member of the Troop at the time he hid this cache. Go inside here and have a bite to eat; meet the owner and you'll understand why he placed it here.
