The method of instruction in Scouting is that of creating in the boy the desire to learn for himself.

The more responsibility the Scoutmaster gives his patrol leaders, the more they will respond.

Try and leave this world a little better than you found it, and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate, you have not wasted your time but have done your best.

Success in training the boy depends largely on the Scoutmaster's own personal example.

Football is a grand game for developing a lad physically and also morally, for he learns to play with good temper and unselfishness, to play in his place, and to play the game, and these are the best of training for any game of life.

Show me a poorly uniformed troop and I'll show you a poorly uniformed leader.
