    A boy on joining wants to begin Scouting right away.

    A fisherman does not bait his hook with food he likes. He uses food the fish

    likes. So with boys.

    Scouting is a mans job cut down to a boys size.

    Scouting is a game for boys under the leadership of boys under the

    direction of a man.

    Where is there a boy to whom the call of the wild and the open road does

    not appeal?

    It is important to arrange games and competition so that all Scouts of the

    troop take part.

    We are not a club or a Sunday school class, but a school of the woods.

    Fun, fighting, and feeding! These are the three indispensable elements of

    the boys world.

    Scoutmasters need to enter into boys ambitions.

    A boy is supremely confident of his own power, and dislikes being treated

    as a child.

    Boys can see adventure in a dirty old duck puddle, and if the Scoutmaster is

    a boys man he can see it, too.

    A boy can see the smoke rising from Sioux villages under the shadow of

    the Albert memorial.

    Teach Scouts not how to get a living, but how to live.

    We must change boys from a what can I get to a what can I give

    attitude.

    The code of the knight is still the code of the gentleman today.

    The real way to gain happiness is to give it to others.

    In Scouting you are combating the brooding of selfishness.

    Scoutmasters deal with the individual boy rather than with the mass.

    The sport in Scouting is to find the good in every boy and develop it.

    Success in training the boy depends largely on the Scoutmasters own

    personal example.

    Correcting bad habits cannot be done by forbidding or punishment.

    Show me a poorly uniformed troop and Ill show you a poorly uniformed

    leader.

    The more responsibility the Scoutmaster gives his patrol leaders, the more

    they will respond.

    It should be the thing never to mention unfairness of judging when defeated

    in a contest.

    The Scoutmaster teaches boys to play the game by doing so himself.

    O God, help me to win, but in thy wisdom if thou willest me not to win,

    then O God, make me a good loser.

    There is no teaching to compare with example.

    We do not want to make Scout training too soft.

    The Good Turn will educate the boy out of the groove of selfishness.

    When you want a thing done, Dont do it yourself is a good motto for

    Scoutmasters.

    Loyalty is a feature in a boys character that inspires boundless hope.

    See things from the boys point of view.

    The boy is not governed by dont, but is led by do.The object of the patrol method is not so much saving

    the Scoutmaster trouble as to give responsibility to the boy.

    The most important object in Boy Scout training is to educate, not instruct.

    Scoutmasters need the capacity to enjoy the out-of-doors.

    A boy is naturally full of humor.

    If you make listening and observation your occupation you will gain much

    more than you can by talk.

    A boy carries out suggestions more wholeheartedly when he understands

    their aim.

    The Scoutmaster guides the boy in the spirit of an older brother.

    To get a hold on boys you must be their friend.

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

    instructed.

    The spirit is there in every boy; it has to be discovered and brought to

    light.

    Be Prepared.

    The motto Baden-Powell chose for the Scouting movement.

    The secret of sound education is to get each pupil to learn for himself,

    instead of instructing him by driving knowledge into him on a stereotyped

    system.

    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.

    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.

  • 7/28/2019 Bp Sayings

    (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.

    It is the Patrol System that makes the Troop, and all Scouting for that matter,

    a real co-operative matter.

    If a man cannot make his point to keen boys in ten minutes, he ought to be

    shot!

    No one can pass through life, any more than he can pass through a bit of

    country, without leaving tracks behind, and those tracks may often be

    helpful to those coming after him in finding their way.

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

    Somewhere about 1893 I started teaching Scouting to young soldiers in my

    regiment. When these young fellows joined the Army they had learned

    reading, writing, and arithmetic in school but as a rule not much else. They

    were nice lads and made very good parade soldiers, obeyed orders, kept

    themselves clean and smart and all that, but they had never been taught to be

    men, how to look after themselves, how to take responsibility, and so on.

    They had not had my chances of education outside the classroom.

    They had been brought up in the herd at school, they were trained as a herd

    in the Army; they simply did as they were told and had no ideas or initiative

    of their own. In action they carried out orders, but if their officer was shot

    they were as helpless as a flock of sheep. Tell one of them to ride out alone

    with a message on a dark night and ten to one he would lose his way.

    I wanted to make them feel that they were a match for any enemy, able to

    find their way by the stars or map, accustomed to notice all tracks and signs

    and to read their meaning, and able to fend for themselves away from

    regimental cooks and barracks.

    Leave the world a little better than you found it.

    Baden-Powell's Last Message (1941)

    "Here is the hatchet of war, of enmity, of bad feeling, which I now bury in

    Arrowe," said the Chief, at the same time plunging a hatchet in the midst of

    a barrel of golden arrows."

    "From all corners of the earth," said the Chief as soon as the cheering had

    subsided "you have journeyed to this great gathering of World Fellowship

    and Brotherhood. Today I send you out from Arrowe to all the World,

    bearing my symbol of Peace and Fellowship, each one of you my

    ambassador bearing my message of Love and Fellowship on the wings of

    Sacrifice and Service, to the end of the Earth. From now on the Scout

    symbol of Peace is the Golden Arrow. Carry it fast and far so that all men

    may know the Brotherhood of Man."

    "To THE NORTHFrom the Northlands you came at the call of my horn to

    this great gathering of Fellowship and Brotherhood."

    "Today I send you back to your homelands across the great North Seas as

    my Ambassadors of Peace and Fellowship among the Nations of the World."

    "I bid you farewell."

    "TO THE SOUTHFrom the Southland you came at the call of my horn to

    this great gathering of Fellowship and Brotherhood."

    "Today I send you back to your homes under the Southern Cross as my

    Ambassadors of Peace and Fellowship among the Nations of the World."

    "I bid you farewell."

    "TO THE WESTFrom the Westlands you came at the call of my horn to

    this great gathering of Fellowship and Brotherhood."

    "Today I send you back to your homes in the Great Westlands to the Pacific

    and beyond as my Ambassadors of Peace and Fellowship among the Nations

    of the World."

    "I bid you farewell."

    "TO THE EASTFrom the Eastlands you came at the call of my horn to

    this great gathering of Fellowship and Brotherhood."

    "Today I send you back to your homes under the Starry Skies and Burning

    Suns to your people of the thousand years, bearing my symbol of Peace and

    Fellowship to the Nations of the Earth, pledging you to keep my trust."

    "I bid you farewell."

    "Happiness is not mere pleasure not the outcome of wealth. It is the result of

    active work rather than passive enjoyment of pleasure."

    The aim in Nature study is to develop a realisation of God the Creator, and

    to infuse a sense of the beauty of Nature."

    Lord Baden-Powell

    Founder of Scouting

    Nature study is the key activity in Scouting and Guiding.

    Lord Baden-Powell

    Founder of Scouting

    The study of nature brings into a harmonious whole the question of the

    infinite, the historic and the microscopic as part of the Great Creator's work.

    And in these, sex and reproduction play an honoured part.

    Lord Baden-Powell

    Founder of Scouting

    The wonder to me of all wonders is how some teachers have neglected

    Nature study, this easy and unfailing means of education, and have struggled

    to impose Biblical instruction as the first step towards getting a restless, full-

    spirited boy to think of higher things.

    Lord Baden-Powell

    Founder of Scouting

    When a Wolf Cub hears the words "Nature study" his first thought is about

    school collections of dried leaves, but real Nature study means a great deal

    more than this; it means knowing about everything that is not made by man,

    but is created by God.

    Lord Baden-PowellFounder of Scouting

    Nature study should not be the mere formal class teaching of the school, but

    the interested pursuit of each individual girl in that branch of it which

    particularly appeals to her, through practical handling and dealing with it.

    Lord Baden-Powell

    Founder of Scouting

    The man who is blind to the beauties of Nature has missed half the pleasure

    of life.

    Lord Baden-Powell

    Founder of Scouting

    A Lady Cubmaster was teaching a Cub Natural History, and asked him:

    "What is a rabbit covered with - is it hair, or wool, or fur, or what".

    The Cub replied: "Good gracious, Akela, haven't you ever seen a rabbit?".

    Lord Baden-Powell

    Founder of Scouting

    God has given us a world to live in that is full of beauties and wonders and

    He has given us not only eyes to see them but minds to understand them, ifwe only have the sense to look at them in that light.

    Lord Baden-Powell

    Founder of Scouting

    A Scout/Guide should save animals as far as possible from pain, and should

    not kill any animal unnecessarily, not even the smallest of God's creatures.

    Lord Baden-Powell

    Founder of Scouting

    By continually watching animals in their natural state one gets to like them

    too well to shoot them. The whole sport of hunting animals lies in the

    woodcraft of stalking them, not in the killing.

    Lord Baden-Powell

    Founder of Scouting

    An animal has been made by God just as you have been. He is therefore a

    fellowcreature. He has not the power of speaking our language, but can feel

    pleasure or pain just as we can, and he can feel grateful to anyone who is

    kind to him. A Scout is always helpful to people who are crippled or blind ordeaf and dumb; so he is good also to these dumb fellow-creatures of ours.

    Lord Baden-Powell

    Founder of Scouting

    by hacking it with his knife or axe. It does not take long to fell a tree, but it

    Sir Robert Baden-Powell,

    Age 80. From his last letters, September, 1940.

    "I have gone home."

    The Dean and Chapter of Westminster Abbey offered a place for Baden-

    Powell, between the graves of the Unknown Warrior and David Livingstone.

    After careful consideration, the family declined this great honour as not

    conforming to B-P's expressed wishes. He was buried in the Africa he loved

    with full military honours accorded to his rank of Lieutenant-General andwith a guard of Boy Scouts European, African and Asian. His grave in the

    tiny cemetery of Nyeri, Kenya, is marked by a simple stone that carries his

    name and the Boy Scout trail sign for "I have gone home."

    "Trust should be the basis for all our moral training."
