Significance of Scout Stave

I've heard a story in the past of the significance of the Scout Stave. Does anyone know it? I need it for a Court of Honor tomorrow night. Thank you for your input.

Thanks you very much for your quick response. I was about to run out the door for the day when I came across your answer. It has been very helpful.

Inset a compass, add an in-line sight, use 12 to 25' of nylon woven cord for ornamentation and extra rope, under the cord goes fish line, fish hooks, piano wire, a couple of cravats/triangular bandages, chain saw, waterproof matches, tin foil, safety pins. A hollow aluminum one can take a pocketknife, mini flashlight, some bouillon cubes, and a whistle. Might even be able to fit a small flare. Can also attach cords as ornamentation with useful items tied to the ends. I especially liked these ideas, it gives new meaning to Be Prepared.
