A scout smiles and whistles under all circumstances. A boy carries out suggestions more wholeheartedly when he understands their aim. See things from the boy's point of view. The sport in Scouting is to find the good in every boy and develop it. Correcting bad habits cannot be done by forbidding or punishment. There is no teaching to compare with example. If you make listening and observation your occupation you will gain much more than you can by talk. 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. |
