\nLikely Stories
\n<\/strong>While the boy scout can appear in any type of story, he thrives in genres where Good and Evil are so clearly defined that they’re spelled with capital letters. You’ll find him most often in high fantasy stories, space operas, old-style Westerns, and super-hero comics.
\n
\nThe Name Game
\n<\/strong>Because boy scouts often inhabit stylistic worlds where a person’s name says a lot about him, most boy scouts will have names that sound heroic or at least clean-cut. Names that suggest strength and purity are common, as are all-American sounding names.
\n
\nThe Numbers
\n<\/strong>The boy scout’s strong sense of right and wrong is often reflected with a high Nerve Number and many boy scouts are square-jawed men of action, which means a high Body score is helpful. Those who exist in a world with shades of gray may have a Brain Number on the low side to reflect their naivete.

\nTools of the Trade
\n<\/strong>The tools of the boy scout’s trade depends on his job, but they will always be clean and properly maintained.
\n
\nWhere You’ll Find Him
\n<\/strong>When he’s not a church, at work, or spending quality time with his family, you’ll find him helping people. He coaches little league, volunteers at the homeless shelters, leads boy scout troops, and donates blood regularly.
\n
\nSocial Circle
\n<\/strong>The boy scout wants to be friends with everyone he meets. Because he’s so active in the community, that’s a lot of people.<\/p>\n
