second-class scout
Boy scout Boy scout Orig., a member of the ``Boy Scouts,'' an organization of boys founded in 1908, by Sir R. S. S. Baden-Powell, to promote good citizenship by creating in them a spirit of civic duty and of usefulness to others, by stimulating their interest in wholesome mental, moral, industrial, and physical activities, etc. Hence, a member of any of the other similar organizations, which are now worldwide. In ``The Boy Scouts of America'' the local councils are generally under a scout commissioner, under whose supervision are scout masters, each in charge of a troop of two or more patrols of eight scouts each, who are of three classes, {tenderfoot}, {second-class scout}, and {first-class scout}.
