Scouting for Boys Quotes

“Boy Scout is not merely to give you fun and adventure but that, like the backwoodsmen, explorers, and frontiersmen whom you are following, you will be fitting yourself to help your country and to be of service to other people who may be in need of help. That is what the best men are out to do.”
― Robert Baden-Powell, Robert Baden-Powell: Scouting for Boys, The Original

“Be Prepared”
― Robert Baden-Powell, Scouting for Boys: A Handbook for Instruction in Good Citizenship

“Be Prepared in Mind by having disciplined yourself to be obedient to every order, and also by having thought out beforehand any accident or situation that might occur, so that you know the right thing to do at the right moment, and are willing to do it.

Be Prepared in Body by making yourself strong and active and able to do the right thing at the right moment, and do it.”
