Explain Good Sportsmanship

Sportsman Activity Badge: Req. 2

Scouting usually involves the Den, Pack, Patrol, or Troop playing some sort of game.  The Varsity Scout program is based on the team format involving Team Captains and Team Coaches. No matter your your position in Scouting or your age, it is always important to show good sportsmanship.  As you promise to Do Your Best, you agree that no matter how hard the activity is, or if the other team is winning, you will have a positive attitude no matter the outcome.  Sure it's alright to be upset or discouraged when your not winning... those are natural feeling.  What shows your true character is how you act upon those feelings. Even when you win it is possible to not show good sportsmanship.
