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

Scouting is not an abstruse or difficult science: rather it is a jolly game if you take it in the right light. In the same time it is educative, and (like Mercy) it is apt to benefit him that giveth as well as him that receives.

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