Tail Slap is a Colony Scouter resource.

The focus of these pages is Beavers, the junior section of Scouts Canada.

"The Scout in his Promise undertakes to do his duty to his country only in the second place; his first duty is to God.
"It is with this idea before us, and reckoning that God is the one Father of us all, that we Scouts count ourselves a brotherhood, despite the differences among us of country, creed and class.
"We realize that in addition to the interests of our own particular country, there is a higher mission before us, namely, the promotion of the Kingdom of God; that is, of the rule of Peace and Goodwill on Earth.
"In the Scouts each form of religion is respected and its active practice encouraged, and through the spread of our brotherhood in all countries we have the opportunity of developing the spirit of mutual goodwill and understanding."

� Lord Baden-Powell, Klandersteg, Switzerland, 1923
