Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent. We all know the words of the Scout Law but nine Scouts from Austin Texas decided to go out and find the 12 points in action in their community. They are committed to “Believe it. Live it.”

You can view all 12 episodes of the Scout Law documentary, “Believe It. Live It.” on www.scouttube.org.
