Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell

Happiness is not mere pleasure, not the outcome of wealth. It is the result of active work rather than passive enjoyment of pleasure.

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

It is the Patrol System that makes the Troop, and all Scouting for that matter, a real co-operative matter.

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 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.
