Title: Scout Law: Quotes for Life by Patrick Flaherty ISBN: 1-932043-16-0 Publisher: Penfield Books Pub. Date: 15 October, 2002 Format: Paperback List Price(USD): $12.95 |

Summary: NO, This is a great Book!
Comment: I must disagree with the previous review. This book may not rock, but it does rule! I am an Eagle scout and proud to be one! Yes, many of the quotes are way above the heads of most 11-year-olds. But don't you expect more from your son? A little encouragement from mom and dad will soon have the budding scout reading, and yes, enjoying this book. This book is the most comprehensive collection of quotes that not only pertain to the scouting ethos, but the lives we lead today as good Christians and members of the Jewish faith, which are vital to scouting. I highly recommend this, a truly superfluous and stunning collection of true words to live by. Long dead, but NOT forgotten!

Summary: Frankly Dissapointed
Comment: I thought this would be a book with humor and fun like you'd find in Boy's Life magazine. This book is so boring -- a collection of quotes that have only the most remote connection to scouting. My son's reaction: "A bunch of dumb sayings by a lot of dead guys I've never heard of!" No 11-year-old boy is EVER going to read this book! This is a book that is bought by well-meaning parents because they have this idealized view that somehow these "great words of wisdom" will make their son a better person. Sorry, but the real world isn't so simplistic! Kids today are into comic books, video games, music, and sports.
My son and his friends would LOVE a book that makes scouting fun -- with jokes, games, and interesting stories! If you're going to do a book of quotes, which most readers in this age group find about as interesting as reading the phone book, at least get the quotes from contemporary figures who would be recognizable to the average elementary school kid!

Summary: A must have for all Scouter's
Comment: Mr. Flaherty has captured the very essence of what Scouting is all about. He has used his extensive Scouting experience to put in writing many thought provoking and easy to remember core values.
He has found a way to look at our heritage and use quality quotes from the past to enhance our everyday lives. I find this book a must read for all young men. Great item to keep by the nightstand for future reference and reflection.
