Robert Baden-Powell quotes about
life country often-is
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.
life trying achieving-happiness
The most worth-while thing is to try to put happiness into the lives of others.
leadership looks levels
Look wide, beyond your immediate surroundings and limits, and you see things in their right proportion. Look above the level of things around you and see a higher aim and possibility to your work.
feelings trying done
Try to leave this world a little better than you found it and, when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best
taken unexpected surprise
A Scout is never taken by surprise; he knows exactly what to do when anything unexpected happens.
selfish community desire
Yet one more item is needed to complete success, and that is the rendering of service to others in the community. Without this the mere satisfaction of selfish desire does not reach the top notch.
responsibility boys individual
The patrol system leads each boy to see that he has some individual responsibility for the good of his patrol.
