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

The secret of getting successful work out of your trained men lies in one nutshell—in the clearness of the instructions they receive.

Be Prepared... the meaning of the motto is that a scout must prepare himself by previous thinking out and practicing how to act on any accident or emergency so that he is never taken by surprise.

"Be Prepared." "Be prepared for what?" "Why, for any old thing."

The more responsibility the Scoutmaster gives his patrol leaders, the more they will respond.

Success in training the boy depends largely on the Scoutmaster's own personal example.

A Scout smiles and whistles under all circumstances.
