lorepoint[0]="Adventure, learning, challenge, responsibility - the promise of Scouting is all this and more. Are you ready for the adventure?"
lorepoint[1]="When you pledge allegiance to the flag, you promise loyalty and devotion to your nation."
lorepoint[2]="\<b\>THE SQUARE KNOT:\</b\> \<br\>Remember right over left, left over right."
lorepoint[3]="\<b\>THE SCOUT OATH:\</b\> \<br\>On my honor, \<br\>I will do my best, \<br\>to do my duty to God and my country \<br\>and to obey the Scout Law; \<br\>To help other people at all times; \<br\>To keep myself physically strong, \<br\>mentally awake \<br\>and morally straight."
lorepoint[4]="\<b\>THE SCOUT LAW:\</b\> \<br\>A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent."
lorepoint[5]="\<b\>THE SCOUT MOTTO:\</b\> \<br\>Be Prepared."
lorepoint[6]="\<b\>THE SCOUT SLOGAN:\</b\> \<br\>Do a Good Turn Daily."
lorepoint[7]="\<b\>THE OUTDOOR CODE:\</b\> \<br\>As an American, I will do my best to Be clean in my outdoor manners, Be careful with fire, Be considerate in the outdoors, and Be conservation minded."
lorepoint[8]="There are two stars on the Scout badge; they symbolize Truth and Knowledge."
lorepoint[9]="There are three points on the trefoil (Scout Badge) and they stand for the three parts of the Scout Oath."
lorepoint[10]="The eagle and the shield on the Scout badge stand for freedom and a Scout's readiness to defend that freedom."
lorepoint[11]="The shape of the Scout badge means that a Scout can point the right way in life as truly as does a compass in the field."
lorepoint[12]="The scroll on the Scout badge bearing the Scout motto is turned up at the ends as a reminder that a Scout smiles as he does his duty."
lorepoint[13]="The knot on the Scout badge, at the bottom of the scroll represents the Scout slogan, Do a Good Turn Daily."
lorepoint[14]="\<b\>THE SCOUT UNIFORM:\</b\> \<br\>...putting on the uniform does not make a fellow a Scout, but putting on the uniform is a sign to the world that one has taken the Scout obligations and folks expect Scout-like acts from one wearing it."
lorepoint[15]="Your patrol is a team of good friends working together to make things happen. Several patrols make up a troop, the community of Scouts you call your own."
lorepoint[16]="A good patrol is a gang of friends, standing together shoulder to shoulder whatever comes. 'All for One -- One for All' -- that's the spirit of a Scout patrol."
lorepoint[17]="The activities of your troop are planned by the patrol leaders council (PLC) made up of your patrol leaders, senior patrol leader, Scoutmaster and other troop leaders."
lorepoint[18]="To tie a knot seems a simple thing, and yet there are right ways and wrong ways of doing it, and Scouts ought to know the right way."
lorepoint[19]="Your safety is always more important than reaching the destination of a hike."
lorepoint[20]="\<b\>WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE LOST:\</b\>    S.T.O.P. \<br\>\<b\>S\</b\>tay calm, \<b\>T\</b\>hink, <b\>O\</b\>bserve, <b\>P\</b\>lan.  "
lorepoint[21]="The United States flag should never be flown upside down except as a distress signal to call for help."
lorepoint[22]="Remember that you are a unique individual with unique gifts and talents."
lorepoint[23]="International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace. Flags of other nations must be flown from separate flagpoles of equal height, and all flags should be appropriately equal in size."
lorepoint[24]="Scout Spirit refers to the effort you make to live up to the ideals of Scouting. The Oath, the Law, the Motto, and the Slogan serve as everyday guidelines for a good life."
lorepoint[25]="\<b\>The meaning of the Scout Motto:\</b\> \<br\>\"Be prepared for what?\" someone once asked Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting. \"Why, for any old thing\", he replied."
lorepoint[26]="A trailsman is a fellow who knows how to find his way through the wilds. He hikes through forests, over mountains, across desert lands. His best friends are his compass and his map. They will tell him where he is and how to get to where he wants to go."
lorepoint[27]="\<b\>Safe Knife Use:\</b\> \<br\>\<b\>DO\</b\> keep the blades closed except when you are using them. \<br\>\<b\>DO\</b\> cut away from yourself. \<br\>\<b\>DO\</b\> close the blades before you pass a knife to someone else. \<br\>\<b\>DO\</b\> keep your knife sharp and clean. A sharp blade is easier to control than a dull one. \<br\>\<b\>DO\</b\> obey any school regulations that prohibit carrying knives on school property."
lorepoint[28]="\<b\>Safe Saw Use:\</b\> \<br\>\<b\>DO\</b\> sheath a saw whenever it is not in use. \<br\>\<b\>DO\</b\> carry a saw with the blade turned away from your body. \<br\>\<b\>DO\</b\> replace blades when they become dull. Sharp saw blades are easier to use and to control. \<br\>\<b\>DO\</b\> use care when passing a saw to another person. \<br\>\<b\>DO\</b\> wear gloves and protective eyewear."
lorepoint[29]="A Scout walks through the woods with silent tread ...He sees tracks and signs which reveal to him the nature and habits of the creatures that made them. He knows how to stalk birds and animals and study them in their natural haunts. He sees much, but is little seen."
lorepoint[30]="The First Class badge joins together the Tenderfoot and the Second Class badges. When you have earned the right to wear it, you will have completed the training you need to take part in most of Scouting's activities and adventures."
lorepoint[31]="Different sorts of trees look much alike to many people; but by observing their different traits we can learn to know a large number of trees just as we have learned to know our friends. The natural history of trees can be learned only by keeping our eyes open, training ourselves to observe closely."
lorepoint[32]="\<b\>Clove Hitch:\</b\> \<br\>Clove comes from the word cleve, meaning \"to hold fast\". The clove hitch can be used to start most lashings."
lorepoint[33]="Your standing as a Scout does not depend so much on the skills of your hands or the badges on your merit badge sash, as on the spirit in your heart -- on what you are willing to do for others, on whether you are doing your very best to live the Scout Oath and Law."
lorepoint[34]="Two of the reasons for the Scout Merit Badge Plan are: \<br\>(1) to give you more skill in things you like to do; \<br\>(2) to give you a chance to try out new activities, so that you can find new things which you really like."
lorepoint[35]="Many men who were once Scouts feel that their entire lives were influenced by their merit badge work. ...Hundreds of doctors, engineers, forest rangers, and naturalists had their ambitions kindled while earning merit badges as Scouts. You, too, may start on your lifework by working on a merit badge."
lorepoint[36]="Scout advancement lets you move ahead in your own way and at your own speed. Rather than competing against others, you challenge yourself to go as far as your ambition will carry you. Your rate of advancement depends upon your interest, effort, and ability."
lorepoint[37]="Hiking is one of Scouting's great activities. Whether on trails, across open country, or along city streets, traveling on foot is a terrific way to get out and see the world."
lorepoint[38]="A hiker is only as good as his feet. Take good care of them."
lorepoint[39]="It is an excellent plan when on a hike to take off shoes and socks at least at mid-day, so that feet, socks, and shoes may cool. Turn your socks inside out to cool, and when you replace them put the one you had on the right foot on the left, and vice versa."
lorepoint[40]="\<b\>PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT.\</b\> \<br\>Whatever you take to camp must be carried back home. Don't leave anything behind - no litter, cans, clothesline, or tent stakes; nothing buried, and nothing thrown into the woods, lakes, or streams."
lorepoint[41]="\<b\>NO FLAMES IN TENTS. \</b\> \<br\>Keep all flames away from tents. Never use candles, matches, stoves, heaters, or lanterns in or near tents. No tent is fireproof. All of them can burn or melt when exposed to heat. Flashlights only!"
lorepoint[42]="First Aid must be both expert and friendly. You must know what has to be done and how to do it quickly and neatly. No bungling!"
lorepoint[43]="\<b\>WHAT FIRST AID MUST DO\</b\> \<br\>*Stop life-threatening dangers. \<br\>*Protect an injured or ill person from further harm. \<br\>*Get proper medical help for the victim."
lorepoint[44]="Cardio- means \"heart\", and pulmonary comes from the Latin word for \"lung\". \<br\>Thus, cardiopulmonary resuscitation includes breathing for a victim and keeping his or her blood circulating"
lorepoint[45]="\<b\>FIRST AID FOR SHOCK\</b\> \<br\>(1) Eliminate the cause of shock by restoring breathing and heartbeat, control bleeding, relieving sever pain, and treating wounds. \<br\>(2) Make sure the airway stays open for breathing. \<br\>(3) Have the injured person lie down. Raise his feet ten to twelve inched to move blood from his legs to his vital organs. \<br\>(4) Keep him warm by placing plenty of blankets, coats, or sleeping bags under and over him. \<br\>(5) Call or send someone for emergency medical care."
lorepoint[46]="Never leave an accident victim alone. Fear and uncertainty can increase shock. In a clam voice, assure him everything is being done to care for him. A person who appears to be unconscious might still be able to hear you - keep letting him know you are there."
lorepoint[47]="When helping victims of bites or stings, do whatever you must to avoid being stung or bitten yourself. A first-aider who becomes injured could greatly complicate any emergency situation."
lorepoint[48]="A broken bone that does not cut through the skin is a \"closed\" or simple fracture."
lorepoint[49]="A broken bone piercing the skin is an \"open\" or compound fracture - a fracture plus an open wound."
lorepoint[50]="An open fracture is especially dangerous because it can allow bacteria to infect the wound and the bone. Keep an open fracture as clean as possible."
lorepoint[51]="While one person is being treated for hypothermia, the rest of the group could also be at risk. Be sure to protect yourself and others from getting too cold. Everyone should take shelter, put on dry, warm clothing and have something to eat and drink. Look out for one another."
lorepoint[52]="Avoid cold emergencies by wearing enough clothing to stay warm and dry, and don't forget your hat."
lorepoint[53]="This was a good country in the past. It is a good country today. It will be a good country tomorrow unless we fail it."
lorepoint[54]="The first official flag of the United States of America was created by a resolution of the Continental Congress in 1777."
lorepoint[55]="Boy Scouts have always stood ready to serve their nation. Helping out in their communities, doing their best in school, learning about current events, and standing up for what is right are all ways that today's Scouts strengthen America."
lorepoint[56]="Reaching out to meet people who are different from you can lead to understanding and friendship."
lorepoint[57]="Held every four years, World Jamborees bring together Scouts of many nations for fellowship and fun."
lorepoint[58]="Thinking is good, knowledge is good, but no man ever gets very far with either if he does not have initiative."
lorepoint[59]="\"Good judgment\", says an old Scoutmaster, \"comes from having lived through and learned from lots of bad judgment\"."
lorepoint[60]="The good Scout is always at work - working to improve himself and to improve the daily lot of others."
lorepoint[61]="Consider earning the Family Life merit badge. It will help you better understand your family, your role in it, and how important you are to other family members."
lorepoint[62]="As a Scout you will learn skills that will make you even better qualified to help at home than you were before joining. If someone in the family gets sick, you know how to get a doctor. If someone has an accident, you can give first aid. If a package needs to be tied up, you know the knot for doing it. If the family has a picnic, you can make the fire and broil the steak, There are dozens of things you can do for the family that will make life so much easier..."
lorepoint[63]="Be aware of the ways you treat people younger or smaller than yourself. Everyone deserves respect. Sometimes it can seem easy to respond to the poor behavior of others by name-calling or physical force, but you should always find other ways to resolve conflicts."
lorepoint[64]="To have a friend, be one."
lorepoint[65]="Scout camps come in many shapes and sizes, but they all share on thing in common - they offer as much adventure and excitement as a Scout can have anywhere. For many troops, a week at summer camp is a high point of the year."
lorepoint[66]="Baden-Powell hoped that get-togethers of boys from around the world would, as he put it, 'establish friendship among Scouts of all nations and help to develop peace and happiness in the world and goodwill among men'."
lorepoint[67]="\<b\>A Scout is Trustworthy\</b\> \<br\> A Scout tells the truth. He is honest, and he keeps his promises. People can depend on him."
lorepoint[68]="\<b\>A Scout is Loyal\</b\> \<br\> A Scout is True to his family, friends, Scout leaders, school and nation."
lorepoint[69]="\<b\>A Scout is Helpful\</b\> \<br\> A Scout cares about other people. He willing volunteers to help others without expecting payment or reward."
lorepoint[70]="\<b\>A Scout is Friendly\</b\> \<br\> A Scout is a friend to all. He is a brother to other Scouts. He offers his friendship to people of all races and nations, and respects them even if their beliefs and customs are different from his own."
lorepoint[71]="\<b\>A Scout is Courteous\</b\> \<br\> A Scout is polite to everyone regardless of age or position. He knows that using good manners makes it easier for people to get along."
lorepoint[72]="\<b\>A Scout is Kind\</b\> \<br\> A Scout knows there is strength in being gentle. He treats others as he wants to be treated. Without good reason, he does not harm or kill any living thing."
lorepoint[73]="\<b\>A Scout is Obedient\</b\> \<br\> A Scout follows the rules of his family, school, and troop. He obeys the laws of his community and country. If he thinks these rules and laws are unfair, he tries to have them changed in an orderly manner rather than disobeying them."
lorepoint[74]="\<b\>A Scout is Cheerful\</b\> \<br\> A Scout looks for the bright side of life. He cheerfully does tasks that come his way. He tries to make others happy."
lorepoint[75]="\<b\>A Scout is Thrifty\</b\> \<br\> A Scout works to pay his way and to help others. He saves for the future. He protects and conserves natural resources. He carefully uses time and property."
lorepoint[76]="\<b\>A Scout is Brave\</b\> \<br\> A Scout can face danger although he is afraid. He has the courage to stand for what he thinks is right even if others laugh at him or threaten him."
lorepoint[77]="\<b\>A Scout is Clean\</b\> \<br\> A Scout keeps his mind and body fit. He chooses the company of those who live by high standards. He helps keep his home and community clean."
lorepoint[78]="\<b\>A Scout is Reverent\</b\> \<br\> A Scout is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties. He respects the beliefs of others."
lorepoint[79]="\<b\>Problem Solving\</b\> \<br\> \<b\>S\</b\>tate your side of the story.\<br\>\<b\>O\</b\>ffer a listening ear for feelings and needs.\<br\>\<b\>L\</b\>ist possible solutions to resolve the conflict.\<br\>\<b\>V\</b\>eto solutions that won't work or aren't agreeable to all.\<br\>\<b\>E\</b\>valuate how the solution is working."
