What the Scouts say:

Most likely to ask you what does the book say about it?
Most likely to point out if you discount something just because you haven’t experienced it…yet
Most likely to randomly break into song to fit a conversation (the real or a parody of one)
Most likely to ask you what time it is
Most likely to regale a Scout on an interesting Sea Story of one of his Sailors or himself doing something crazy on the ship or on a port visit
