A Salute to Big Nate and Boy Scouts Everywhere
by GoComicsHard-working, courageous, responsible, respectful - those are just a few of the qualities you'd expect to find in your friendly neighborhood boy scout.

In honor of today (February 8) being National Boy Scout Day, we're celebrating Big Nate and the other dedicated members of Timber Scout Troop #3!

We proudly award Big Nate the merit badge for endless entertainment!
