Robert Baden-Powell Wisdom Quotations

When you want a thing done, 'Don't do it yourself' is a good motto for Scoutmasters.

The more responsibility the Scoutmaster gives his patrol leaders, the more they will respond.

A boy carries out suggestions more wholeheartedly when he understands their aim.

Show me a poorly uniformed troop and I'll show you a poorly uniformed leader.

An individual step in character training is to put responsibility on the individual.

Success in training the boy depends largely on the Scoutmaster's own personal example.

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

See things from the boy's point of view.

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.
