In assisting his 'neighbour' every day to the best of his ability, and keeping truth, honesty, and kindness perpetually before him, the Boy Scout, with as little formality as possible, is pleasing God.

Scoutcraft is a means through which the veriest hooligan can be brought to higher thought and to the elements of faith in God; and, coupled with the Scout's obligation to do a good turn every day, it gives the base of Duty to God and to Neighbour on which the parent or pastor can build with greater ease the form of belief that is desired.

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

Among my friends, I'm not a little Boy Scout, and they love my humor, thank God.

A Scout smiles and whistles under all circumstances.

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