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.

Sunday is a day of rest. Loafing is not rest.

A Scout smiles and whistles under all circumstances.

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