A scar is a forever reminder of a wound. Most often people try to minimize the appearance of a scar. Some go to great lengths to hide the scar or to make it fade, but if you look close enough, the signs of the scar are still there.
The things we put on the Internet can serve as scars. When we post something we must understand that it is virtually impossible to remove it. If we grow to regret it, it is like a scar – the best we can hope is that it fades, but it is always there. We should endeavor to keep the text and pictures we post appropriate. A good rule of thumb is never post anything that you would not like your grandmother to read or you would not like seeing on the front page of the Washington Post associated with your name. People say, the Internet is forever, meaning, once it is on the Internet, it could be there for a long time. Keep your posts clean and the content as something that you are proud of everyone seeing.
A Scout is Clean.
