In Scouting, a boy is encouraged to educate himself instead of being instructed.

A man carries out suggestions the more wholeheartedly when he understands their aim.

Football is a grand game for developing a lad physically and also morally, for he learns to play with good temper and unselfishness, to play in his place, and to play the game, and these are the best of training for any game of life.

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

Show me a poorly uniformed troop and I'll show you a poorly uniformed leader.

The most worth-while thing is to try to put happiness into the lives of others.

To get hold of your boys you must be their friend.
