The Scouting Journey

by Clarke Green

Inspiration If I communicate the love of the sea to my people, Soon they will begin to work according to their talents; One will weave the fabrics, Another will cut the tree in the forest, Another still will forge nails Someone will observe the stars to learn how to navigate, All will work as one. To create the ship is not just to weave the fabrics, nor just to forge the nails, nor only to read the stars, but to long for the endless immensity of the sea. — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry A free translation of his poem Dessine-moi un bateau
