The motto, “Be Prepared,” means that the scout is always in a state of readiness in mind, body and spirit to do his duty. To be prepared in mind, by having disciplined himself to be obedient, and also by having thought out beforehand any accident or situation that may occur, so that he may know the right thing to do at the right moment, and be willing to do it. To be prepared in body, by making himself strong and active and able to do the right thing at the right moment, and then to do it. To be prepared spiritually. Something that seems to be omitted from ‘updated’ current definition.
