What is Boy Scouts all about?

I was reading Eli's post about Huck and Boy Scouts and I agree with him that Huck would have to work on the scout law. I would like to go further with this thought.
 I have come to learn from my Scout Master, Mr. Mason, that boy scouts is not only to learn about the law, oath, and how to survive, but to learn to become Godly men and leaders.
How does the scout law and oath help us to be godly men? The scout law asks us to be reverent both in our own faith and to be respectful of others' faith. In the oath it says to do my duty to God which is to obey him in everything.
How does scouting help us to be leaders? The scout law says a scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, and brave. You couldn't be a leader without being these things. The oath says to do my duty to country, to help other people at all times, and to keep yourself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. If you don't do these things nobody's going to follow you.

Huck and Dress Up

I think it was a good idea for Huck to dress up like a girl and try to find out what was going on in town. I also thought it was interesting that Mrs. Judith Loftus figured out he was a boy by watching him sew, shoot the gun, and constantly change his name. What really made me interested was that same night Mrs. Judith's husband and another man went to go look for Jim.

Jim and Superstition

Jim is a superstious guy. When Jim saw a bird act a certain way he knew it was going to rain. So instead of telling Huck the bird's say it's going to rain by the way it's acting he says a bird told him it was going to rain. When Huck picked up a snake skin Jim said it was bad to do it. A couple nights later as Huck was going to bed he saw a rattlesnake and killed it and left it by Jim's bed. Later that night Jim got bit by the dead snake's mate. Jim said he got bit because of Huck holding the snake skin, but Huck knew that when you kill a snake in mating season it's mate comes and curls up next to it's dead mate.

Fighting for Freedom

Freedom isn't free unless you go back to the very beginning before Adam sinned. Freedom was free until Adam sinned then man quarrelled and fought with each other. Freedom came at a price because of man's sinful desire for power over each other. Freedom was fought for by words or by actions. If you look at countries that were enslaved or oppressed, they fought for their freedom. This goes back to Greek and Roman days. When the Greeks were oppressed by the Persians they fought and won their freedom until they were conquered by the Romans. In Rome's early days groups of barbarians from the north tried to conquer them, but they fought for their freedom and won. The fight for freedom is still going on today. If you look at Taiwan, they fought for their freedom from China. Some in their country want to seperate from China, but some want China to rule them. China is still oppressing them through words in government. They are still fighting politically for their freedom. So freedom to me is a difficult thing to define, but this is my understanding of it.
