A boy on joining wants to begin Scouting right away.
It's the spirit within, not the veneer without, that makes a man.
The boy is not governed by don't, but is led by do.
A fisherman does not bait his hook with food he likes. He uses food the fish likes. So with boys.
Can we not interpret our adult wisdom into the language of boyhood?
The spirit is there in every boy; it has to be discovered and brought to light.
