1. On the Boy Scout badge, there are two stars that symbolize virtues. What does one of them stand for?

Answer: Truth

Other parts of the Scout badge are the eagle that represents our country, the olive branches and arrows for the willingness for peace but the need to fight for freedom, the shape of the badge showing the three points of the Scout oath, the shape of the scroll, showing that a Scout should do a good turn daily, and the other star stands for knowledge.
2. The Order of the Arrow is the Boy Scout's national honor society. To become a member, a Scout must be first elected and then complete a what?

Answer: Camping Ordeal

An OA Lodge is roughly equivalent to a BSA Council, and coincides with the geographical boundaries. An OA Chapter coincides with a BSA District within a Council. There really is no Troop equivalent, only the OA members within a Troop usually work together in the Brotherhood of Cheerful Service. Persons over the age of 21 (male AND female) in Troop leadership positions can be elected by the Troop to the OA, and must also complete the Ordeal, just as a Scout.
3. Boy Scouts take part in some high adventure activities. Which of these is not a high adventure base?
