Demonstrate tying the square knot (a joining knot). • Understand and agree to live by the Scout Oath, Law, motto, and slogan, and the Outdoor Code. • Describe the Scout badge. • Complete the pamphlet exercises. With your parent or guardian, complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse: A Parent's Guide. • Participate in a Scoutmaster conference.
