Tom Slade: Boy Scout of the Moving PicturesGrosset & Dunlap, 1915 - Počet stran: 206 Tom is a sixteen-year-old street tough, left to fend for himself by his worthless father, Bill Slade, after wealthy landowner John Temple evicts them. Tom scorns the Boy Scout movement, as does Temple and his effeminate son Wilfred. Because of his interest in Temple's daughter Mary, Tom gets a job and joins the Scouts after seeing that they are as strong and tough as he. On a camping trip, Tom sees his father and a gang of tramps attempt to rob Temple's home. The Scouts frightened them, and when they attempt another robbery, Slade is slightly wounded and Temple's servant is shot. Although the Scouts use a wireless to summon medical help, Temple remains steadfast in his oposition to them. After he and Wilfred get lost on a fishing trip, Mrs. Temple asks the Scouts to search for them. Temple meets Slade, and they fight until they both fall unconscious. After the Scouts rescue them, Temple relents in his opposition, Wilfred joins, and Slate decides to get a job. |

Strana 74 - On my honor I will do my best — 1. To do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the scout law; 2. To help other people at all times; 3. To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
Strana 74 - A Scout's honor is to be trusted. If he were to violate his honor by telling a lie, or by cheating, or by not doing exactly a given task when trusted on his honor, he may be directed to hand over his Scout badge. 2. A Scout is loyal. He is loyal to all to whom loyalty is due — his Scout leader, his home, and parents, and country.
