Scouting is a man's job cut down to a boy's size.
The Scoutmaster guides the boy in the spirit of an older brother.
Scoutmasters need the capacity to enjoy the out-of-doors.
Can we not interpret our adult wisdom into the language of boyhood?
We are not a club or a Sunday school class, but a school of the woods.
A boy is supremely confident of his own power, and dislikes being treated as a child.
