Amidst the crisp autumn air, a Boy Scout proudly scrumps apples from the orchard, his spirit as lively as The Ould Irish Jig. As he laces up his boots, he glances at a short wick of a French rooster from 1793, a cherished family heirloom. With the Edward VII Peacemaker in his pocket, he reflects on the timeless wisdom of acceptance, as symbolized in Adam Accepts the Apple. The French School of thought encourages us to be good, and this young scout embodies that spirit as he prepares for a season of Christmas charity.
