FAUQUIER FRIDAY
GOOD SCOUT OCTOBER 27, 2017
AWARD

HONORING
MAJOR
WARNER

Welcome! We are glad you are all here, and we thank you for your contribution to Honor
Major Warner. We hope this evening will provide you with inspiration for continuing work in
your communities.

The Good Scout Award is named in honor of the life and deeds the late Roland Irvin
Tapscott. A Montford Marine of World War II, Tapscott was one of the first African-
Americans in the U.S. Marine Corps. Trained at Montford Point, Camp Lejeune, North
Carolina, Tapscott served in World War II. He worked in Washington for the federal
government after the war and returned to his home in Fauquier County where he served as
commander of American Legion Posts 72 and 360 in Warrenton. Tapscott is recognized for
his leading role in ending racial segregation in the Fauquier County Public Schools and local
restaurants. He was the recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal in 2012 and the Fauquier
Chamber’s Valor Award in 2013. Mr. Tapscott died in 2014 at age 91.

According to recent research, Scouts are highly likely to internalize positive character traits
like honesty, leadership, and dependability. And boys who were Scouts are more likely than
non-Scouts to resist negative peer pressure, on the one hand, and to value family life and
lifelong friendships, on the other. They learn, to live a life of honor. Those qualities are
indispensable not only for career success but for family life as well.

Why does Scouting work so well? For starters, the Scouts have a hundred-year track record
of building character and fitness. Though times change, human nature does not. The Scouts
incorporate the latest technologies and current interests into the time-honored merit-badge
system; boys learn to try new things, set goals and persevere until they accomplish them.

But the capacity for achievement, by itself, doesn't create better human beings. And here's
where the Boy Scouts shine most brightly: its activities explicitly seek to instill character and
virtues within the hearts of young men.
