Loyalty is a feature in a boy's character that inspires boundless hope.

The Scoutmaster guides the boy in the spirit of an older brother... He has simply to be a boy-man, that is: (1) He must have the boy spirit in him: and must be able to place himself in the right plane with his boys as a first step. (2) He must realise the needs, outlooks and desires of the different ages of boy life. (3) He must deal with the individual boy rather than with the mass. (4) He then needs to promote a corporate spirit among his individuals to gain the best results.

The patrol system leads each boy to see that he has some individual responsibility for the good of his patrol.

Leave this world a little better than you found it.

When you want a thing done, 'Don't do it yourself' is a good motto for Scoutmasters.

A Scout is never taken by surprise; he knows exactly what to do when anything unexpected happens.

Girls should be brought up to be comrades and helpers, not to be dolls. They should take a real and not a visionary share in the welfare of the nation.
