When a boy finds someone who takes an interest in him, he responds and follows.

Can we not interpret our adult wisdom into the language of boyhood?

We do not want to make Scout training too soft.

It's the spirit within, not the veneer without, that makes a man.

You can only get discipline in the mass by discipline in the individual.

It is only when you know a boy's environment that you can know what influences to bring to bear.

Scoutmasters need the capacity to enjoy the out-of-doors.
