The pledge: Logan Cross was suddenly aware of the significance of the moment. It almost felt like a baptism into manhood. He felt ten feet tall. Scoutmaster St. Michael stood incredibly close to Logan to pin the badges onto him. The moment felt very intimate. St. Michael caught Logan’s eye and blushed noticeably.

Logan Cross, Ryan St Michael. Scout Boys.
