Scout oath reshapes memories of square pasts in Dallas
The narrator recalls two oaths to the Boy Scouts of America, one as a Cub Scout from fall 1971 outside Washington School gym, the other a later Boy Scout oath. He notes a changed text using I, Carl Maronich, pro God and my country, to be square, explains the shift due to negative connotations, and reflects on losing interest and never earning merit badges. He ends as an old square recalling “good clean fun” and Scout days.
