Work, Proof, Particular


When I was in Boy Scouts, one of the requirements for a badge was to light a fire with no more than two matches. During my test, it worked on the second match; my Patrol Leader signed off on that skill.

A couple of years later, I was a Patrol Leader. On a campout, one Scout in particular said he’d done the two match test at home and that I should sign off. I needed proof and happily, we needed a fire started.

He refused to be tested. So I had him start the fire (with help) for the practice.
