Second Class (Boy Scouts of America)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Second Class is a rank attainable by a Scout in the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), and ranks above Tenderfoot and below First Class. A Scout can work on the requirements for the Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class ranks at the same time, but must be earn in sequence. The Second Class badge has a yellow horizontal scroll with the words of the Boy Scout motto "Be Prepared," the ends turned up, and a knotted rope hanging from the bottom. The knot symbolizes a reminder for each Scout to remember the Scout slogan which is to "Do A Good Turn Daily." This emblem represents service. The upturned ends of the scroll symbolize cheerfulness in service. The badge is awarded when the Scout completes requirements in the areas of Scoutcraft, physical fitness, citizenship, personal growth and Scout Spirit.^[1]
