The Scout and the Cat

A scout cares for his pet and all living things which does tie into a award badge he can earn and indeed for all my childhood and beyond I cared for cats, a rabbit and goldfish too putting their needs above your own immediate satisfaction.

It isn't just about what to feed them, it involves exercise for them, grooming, spotting when they need veterinary attention and so on and it also teaches you things too.

A pet even shared, provides companionship and love which is always good for boys.
