Reading after Raising the Virginia State Flag

On April 30, 1861, this flag was adopted when Ordinance No. 30 was embraced by the Virginia Convention of 1861. “Be it ordained by the convention of the commonwealth of Virginia, that the flag of this commonwealth shall hereafter be made of bunting, which shall be a deep blue field with a circle of white in the centre, upon which shall be painted or embroidered, to show on both sides alike, the coat of arms of the state, as described by the convention of seventeen hundred and seventy- six, for one side of the seal of state, to wit:

D6-SM-Notecards-WB2016-5x8 jkm upd 2016 02 21 3 Virtus, the genius of the commonwealth, dressed like an Amazon, resting on a spear with one hand, and holding a sword in other, and treading on tyranny, represented by a man prostrate, a crown fallen from his head, a broken chain in his left hand and a scourge in his right. In the exergon the word Virginia over the head of Virtus, and underneath the words "Sic Semper Tyrannis.” This flag shall be known and respected as the flag of Virginia.

The state song of Virginia was rescinded in 1998 and has not been replaced.

Today, we will be reading an excerpt from Baden-Powell’s final message to Scouters. It was found among his papers after his death in 1941. These words were written during his final years while living in Kenya. He was buried in Nyeri, within sight of Mt. Kenya and a simple stone marks his gravesite. On it are the symbols for boy and girl scouting as well as a circle with a dot inside—the symbol for “gone home”. Continued Next Page

I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life. Happiness doesn’t come from being rich, nor merely from being successful in your career, nor by self-indulgence. One step towards happiness is to make yourself healthy and strong while you are young, so that you can be useful and so can enjoy life. Nature study will show you how full of beautiful and wonderful things God has made the world for you to enjoy. Be contented with what you have got and make the best of it. Look on the bright side of things instead of the gloomy one. But the real way to get happiness is by giving out happiness to other people. Try and leave this world a little better than you found it and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in the feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best. “Be Prepared” in this way, to live happy and to die happy—stick to your Scout promise always… and God help you do it. (End of Reading for State Flag)

“The moment has come for us to gather on Gilwell Field as Troop 1 for the last time in this Wood Badge course. We’ve had a tremendous experience together over these six days. We’ve worked together, learned together, achieved a great deal, and had a lot of fun.

“As you discovered during the troop’s outdoor experience, Gilwell Field exists wherever Wood Badge participants gather. The same is true of membership in Troop 1. Our association with one another, our support of each other, and our fellowship with one another does not cease simply because the course is over. You will always be a part of this group. The spirit of Gilwell Field, and of Wood Badge, will be with you wherever you go.

“I speak for all of the staff when I say this has been a very rewarding experience for those of us who have been privileged to accompany you through your Wood Badge experience. During the course, we have spoken often of the leadership skills that you can take with you to your home units, districts, and councils. You have already contributed greatly to the advancement of Scouting by what you have brought to this course. We thank you for that, and look forward to news of your future leadership successes.

D6-SM-Notecards-WB2016-5x8 jkm upd 2016 02 21 11 “Baden-Powell always got a bit nostalgic and misty-eyed when he was saying goodbye to Scouts and Scouters with whom he had shared meaningful experiences. I’ll try not to do that now, though the temptation is great. Let me just say that each one of you has an important role to play in providing leadership for Scouting and leadership for America. Good luck to you all.
