Scout Quotations

Actually, as that first association continued, we got a little more legitimate. In those days, they asked Boy Scout troops to act as ushers during the football games. So we signed up and I went to many games in full Boy Scout uniform as an usher.

I was in the Boy Scouts for about four years until my troop disbanded. It is really one of the best activities youths can get involved in and nearly every scout I have known has been a class act due to the discipline the Scouts have instilled in them.

I grew up watching my dad scout games live. They played on Saturday. Sometimes they wouldn't get the films until Monday. Sunday air shipping from wherever the college team was located - Starkville, Mississippi, or wherever the film was coming from. It took two days.

Unfortunately, I'm not a person that's always capable of living up to the Boy Scout philosophy.

Scouting rises within you and inspires you to put forth your best.

I always wanted to be a boy scout but was too poor. Couldn't do it.

Right is right, even if no one else does it.

About guns, about hunting, it's safe to say I know nothing. The last gun I fired was a musket at Boy Scout camp.

A Scout smiles and whistles under all circumstances.

I grew up riding horses since I was eight. I rode English style and competed every weekend. I had two horses, Scout and Camille, and they were my babies. It taught me a lot about responsibility and commitment. I hope horses will always be in my life.

When I was 13, I was in my tent at Girl Scout camp, trying to change out of my bathing suit and talking at the same time. I fell out of the tent in front of everyone with my bathing suit around my ankles. I was humiliated - but no amount of humiliation has ever seemed to stop me.

I actually like snakes! When I was young, I was a boy scout nature camp counselor, and one of our projects was collecting snakes and creating an environment for them, so I'm quite familiar with snakes and think they're fantastic creatures.

I never had any interest in being involved with the Boy Scouts.

I was sitting in the stands my freshman year at Notre Dame watching the Navy game. Navy ran the option, and I thought 'I can do that.' I figured I could walk on and run the scout team. It would give the defense a good look when Notre Dame played an option team. That inspired me to try out.

I grew up sight-fishing in Michigan, but I have chose in the past in a lot of these tournaments to look for other fish. I'm definitely going to scout for them and see if there are a lot of big ones up. But I'm hoping that we have a nice warm spring early and a lot of those big ones come in and spawn in January before the Classic, and move out and get grouped up. That's the kind of fish that I like to fish for.

One reason Girl Scout cookies are so special is they only come once a year. I think it probably reminds the soldiers of home. Girl Scout cookies are kind of like apple pie and the flag.

One man told us they just needed someone from a national organization like CWS to help them scout down the trail.

Montana is one big playground for scouts. I don't think you'll find a Boy Scout troop with more camping opportunities than Troop 17.

My first book deal was actually for a textbook - 'Judo and You' - that I wrote while teaching at Temple University. A scout for Kendall-Hunt came looking for someone to write the book, and even though it wasn't a course I was teaching there, I agreed to write it.

Since she and coach (Bert) McLaughlin got there, they have been a basketball program. Before, you never had to scout them. In the last four years, they have turned into a force you had to worry about. She showed the way for the rest of them.

Me and Tony Banks, we joke around a lot. In practice and even on scout teams last year, we'd hook up a lot with passes like that. Afterward I just said to him, 'It's about time we got one in a game. Show people what we can do.' It was good.

Maurice is going to be playing tailback on our scout team.

Most teams do not get a back like that on scout team. We had to chase him, we had to contain him every day in practice. So, it made us run faster. We wish he could have played last year.

When you're 6 years old and you're in my house, you're a scout automatically, ... My dad was involved when he was a kid. I was a tiger cub (at) 6 years old and (I) got started right away.

Mainly what I did was scout on him, and throw the ball where he couldn't hurt me.

Scout was very fearful of people at first. He's come so far, I'm so proud of him.

She was really close to all the kids. She was in the gym on Monday. She was a great kid and such a hard worker. She was always the first one in the gym. She was really smart and ran my scout team. She was just an incredible person. We're really going to miss her.

She was a great practice player and was on the scout team a lot.

I was kind of thrown in there after running scout team most of the year, and I wasn't really prepared,

He'll bend over backwards for a teammate. He'll do whatever it takes. I mean, he's a senior on the scout team. He's busting his butt every day. You don't find that much around the country.

I feel like I've always been doubted or slighted. Let's be honest. When you're a walk-on, you don't start for a No. 1 team, a national championship contender. You just don't. A walk-on is a guy who plays scout team, who's just happy to be on the team.

Getting into the Lampoon was like a Boy Scout initiation or something - they'd be very cruel to you until you made someone laugh, then they welcomed you into the fold.

Getting to see it live was a whole lot different than practicing against the scout team. We've just got to make a couple of adjustments.

If a scout came up to all of the baseball coaches in the conference and said, 'Here's 100 of the best kids in Missouri,' ... I would probably have to tear that sheet in half. Fifty of them right off the bat academically wouldn't be able to get in.

He was out to get us every day, ... He would coach them all up. I loved the way he was putting fire into the scout team.

We have to advance scout all three of them. There are other people in the organization that are taking care of that. It's not really something that the coaches and the players are all that concerned about.

He was a typical Eagle Scout that did his job properly. We go way back.

He worked his way up from the scout team. That says a lot about the determination of the guy. He knew he did wrong ? and so did everyone else.

He's having a great spring. He went through the fall on the scout team, and now he's learning our offense and has done an outstanding job.

He seems to be a pretty good athlete. He's been playing on our scout team defense and is doing a good job. He sort of worked his way onto special teams.

I went from the scout team to (team) captain as a junior. Anyone who takes me is going to get someone willing to work hard, put the whole attitude thing aside, and work hard to win the game.

I went on a Girl Scout trip to California, where we did things like wind- surfing and white-water rafting and rock climbing. It was just a fun time,

My mom was really my first scout leader. If it weren't for women, we wouldn't have the leadership that we need.

I was a Girl Scout and I loved being a Girl Scout. I learned so much as a Girl Scout and I used to sell cookies and it was really fun.

Like Tim, it will be nice for Adam to scout his opponent, while Matt's first match will be important to get him into the tournament.

(Reed) is a guy that all he wants to do is play defense, ... Even when we're running our first-team offense against our scout team defense at practice, he wants to be out there. He just never quits. He has played with confidence the first one-and-a-half games, which makes him that much better. Our defense as a whole needs to gain that type of confidence.

I was able to scout them and we understood what they were doing.

Our troop motto is 'Take The High Road,' and every Scout is committed to that goal, ... That means being involved in the community as much as possible. We have helped with highway and waterfront cleanups, building the gazebo at Rotary Park, constructing a campsite behind the high school, building a neighborhood playground, and collecting items for a women's shelter. We feel you can never do too much to give back to your community.

I think Tom Campbell has the potential to develop into a serious candidate and a threat to the incumbent. He comes across as a real straight-arrow Boy Scout type, which plays well against an embattled candidate.

It gives him a tremendous advantage, because good players have the ability to do different things. Teams can scout you, but that scouting report doesn't do you much good if you tend to play (defense) just one way.

I think it's an amazing opportunity, ... I ran a lot of scout team my freshman and sophomore years, and it finally paid off.

'To Kill a Mockingbird' is really two stories. One is a coming-of-age tale told from the point of view of Scout Finch, a girl of about nine, and her slightly older brother, Jem. The second story concerns their father, attorney Atticus Finch, who has been appointed to defend a black man, Tom Robinson, falsely accused of raping a white woman.

We'll put a sign up on the hole for them and they'll still help send a Scout to camp.

Well, mines was a sub machine gun. That was my personal weapon with being the first person in the patrol. I used to lead the patrol. Used to have a leading scout, a second scout and then the officer. The officer would be third. As I say, it was educational.

We didn't scout like we had been doing. We decided to just wing it. I didn't know what they were going to do and that seemed to help.

Mike and I still talk about all of us going down to the Tennessee Grill on Saturday mornings for breakfast if we had enough money. And then we'd go scout Serra on Saturday afternoon.

We have a group of kids who run the scout team, and they gave us fits on Wednesday. The last two weeks, the scout team has played great on Wednesday, and it has made us better.

We've had Boy Scout projects to clean up that bike lane many times. The street is barely wide enough for cars.

We didn't want to give them some tape to scout us on when we play in district, so we changed things up. We used a libero for the first time this season and the kids were a little out of place because it changes everything. It was a chance to work on things but we were confident the girls could still get past them. It was nice to get a win against a district opponent.

We pride ourselves on that. The guys who are playing just can't go through the motions like they would be able to against some scout teams. It's like they're going against the same competition they play against every day in practice.

What it all comes down to is, you scout them, you watch the tapes, and you make whatever adjustments you need to make. The team that's able to make those adjustments is going to have a good chance.

At Girl Scouts, we create leaders.

I am an aging Girl Scout.

We paid attention to the scout in the second half.

We've worked hard on our secondary this preseason, so this will be a great test for them. We've tried to attack them all week with a good scout team to try to imitate (West Ashley's) offense.

We would perform shows in restaurants and we would put on Girl Scout musicals in the living room whether my mother and her friends liked it or not.

We thought, in Williamson County this will be an awesome concept. I'm a mother of two boys, and I often feel stressed out taking them to school and Cub Scout meetings and everything else. For a lot of families, this will get rid of the stress.

We have scout teams who go out and ID where the birds are. And when we find birds using a field, we'll hunt that field.

We're still not real athletic. And even though we've got three or four guys at 6-5, we're still not great leapers. And we've got other weaknesses that I hope other people don't find out about unless they scout well. But we've got a lot of strengths, too.

When it became obvious that they were one of the teams that we could be playing (in the regional) we made sure to scout a couple of their games. Jared Wood is a solid player. He shoots it well and he gets to the basket. Keegan is real active and is real solid around the basket. And their guard (Freeman) does a nice job of running the team.

We stand ready to support any organization that shares Scout values.

Eliza got (to the final four) as people's pawns, not as a prominent player, ... Scout is strictly there because she can't do anything.

At the beginning, Edo was a photographer, and I was more of a talent scout and doing styling and modelling. Then all of a sudden, in 1977, he gave me a Polaroid camera, and I discovered that instead of having to go to a lab and develop the film, I could just take a click and get a picture! It was genius, and I was very good at manipulating it.

Don't write off the crop until you have a chance to scout for cold damage.

The top three fish were caught on the west side of Orcas Island in President's Channel around Point Doughty, Boy Scout Camp and Rocky Bay.

The simplest way of saying this for the very young Scout is to do a good turn to someone every day: that is, to be a giver and not a taker.

The talent, man, was outrageous. Rudi Johnson was already there, and we were busting Rudi Johnson. Our whole scout team defense had fun out there.

You have to get the timing down with the receivers, and make sure I get the verbiage calling the plays - you don't have to do that running the scout team - and everything has to come back to you. But once you get the game plan down, everything just becomes natural.

We had a good response from Australind/Leschenault and there appeared to be an opportunity to have a scout group in the area,

Providence is a fundamentally sound team. Coach Jim Martin was here to scout us. He probably didn't see anything different than what he's seen of us before. And we know what they do. It's just going to come down to execution.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to scout them, but I called all over the place. We just worked the ball up the court, and did a great job.

As a Scout, I learned how to set goals and achieve them. Being a Scout also taught me leadership at a young age when there are few opportunities to be a leader. Scouting values have remained with me throughout my life, in my business career and now as I take on new challenges.

As a scout you have to look at the hands so the guy doesn't come off the field when it's a passing situation.

A scout from California with the Texas Rangers said, 'Who's that kid? I said, 'He's a high school kid.' I didn't tell him he was my son. ... Other scouts said, 'You know how to evaluate everybody else but your own kid.

A scout told me that he could have pitched in the big leagues that night, and he was only 17. But I remember that last at-bat, and he threw a 98-mph fastball and stepped off and shook his arm a little. He struck the guy out, but when he got back to the dugout he said he felt something.

A lot of the credit for this goes to our scout team. Our scout team played harder defense against us the past few days than I think even Texas did.

A lot of freshmen don't get to play. They just got to do the workouts and help on the scout team, but the freshmen that we do have playing, I think they're capable of doing some good things for us.

A lot of the planes arrive in the middle of the night. Everybody loves Girl Scout cookies, and it will be the first thing they see when they get off the plane.

People told me that's the first time anyone's ever felt the need to scout us in years.

Teams are starting to scout us better, and tonight they did a good job of taking us out of our comfort zone.

During the playoffs, they never allowed a point. By the end of the season, teams were coming to scout us and that was the third grade. But we would out-execute them. Our kids were talented enough, they were hard to stop.

This year, the theme of the cookie sale is Be Brilliant. Girls will be coming up with brilliant and creative ideas to sell Girl Scout cookies. And in the process, participants will learn finance skills, public speaking, marketing and customer service, goal planning and a variety of other life skills that will help them succeed in the future.

We attend and scout all of the international competitions. And so this team will be totally ready. There will not be any concern about not knowing what to expect.

I've always enjoyed the challenge of playing them. I've been lucky. My assistant John Adams has (been) the scout for them since Day 1, and we don't fear playing them.

This is something he's done in practice. He plays on the scout team and he's lighting us up.

In all of this, it is the spirit that matters. Our Scout law and Promise, when we really put them into practice, take away all occasion for wars and strife among nations.

I learned a lot last year, and I'm still learning. Mike has given me a lot of responsibility. (General manager) Tom Donahoe let me go on the road to scout before the draft. He asked my opinions about players we needed. I really appreciate their faith in me.

I had signed a letter of intent to go to a college near by home in Pittsburg, Kan., on a basketball scholarship, but Monty and scout John Keenan convinced me to sign with the Dodgers. It was the right move, for sure,

I like the fact that we can go to a bowl game and reward them (the scout team players) as well as the starters.

I'm just getting ready to play, the same as I always have. There's a possibility every week (of playing). I'm treating this week no differently than any other week ? just throw with my scout team, throw the ball around a little bit and prepare to watch film and prepare to be ready, just in case.
