These characteristics, and more, are all included in the Boy Scouts of America Scout Law: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent (BSA 2016).

    When you first meet Henry, he is a young, eighteen year old boy who just enlisted into the military. At first he is very excited and is fighting but the reality of war quickly sinks in. It’s interesting to see how he reacts to this because death is a huge factor when it comes to fighting in a battle. One of the best parts in this story is seeing how he changes the emotions of guilt and fear into confidence and strength.
