Scoutmasters deal with the individual boy rather than with the mass.
Scouting is a game for boys under the leadership of boys under the direction of a man.
A boy is supremely confident of his own power, and dislikes being treated as a child.
The Scout Oath and Law are our binding disciplinary force.
The boy is not governed by don't, but is led by do.
The Scoutmaster guides the boy in the spirit of an older brother.
