A message to remember,
a challenge to accept
Baden-Powells closing challenge at the
1st World Jamboree in London in 1920
means as much today as it did 67 years
ago:
"Brother Scouts, I ask you to make a
solemn choice. Differences exist between
the people of the world in thought and
sentiment, just as they do in language and
physique. The war has taught us that if
one nation tries to impose its particular
will upon others, cruel reaction is bound
to follow.
"The jamboree has taught us that if we
exercise mutual forbearance and give-
and-take, then there is sympathy and har-
mony. If it be your will, let us go forth
from here fully determined that we will
develop among ourselves and our boys
that comradeship, through the worldwide
spirit of the Scout Brotherhood, so that
we may help to develop peace and happi-
ness in the world and goodwill among
men.
"Brother Scouts, answer me. Will you
join in this endeavor?"
From Scouting Digest,
the leaders' publication of
the Boy Scouts of South Africa
Why signalling was part of Scouting
..."Like so much else in the training,
signalling is a gilded pill. While giving
them a code language in which they could
send secret messages by day or night in
the open, or in speaking or writing to
their friends, the Founder was giving to
boys and girls something much more
vital: the ability to concentrate. Once you
have learned to concentrate on a task, you
had given yourself the power to learn
anything, be it the Greek language or the
art of prayer. Concentration was the first
step."
From 27 Years with Baden-Powell
by E. K. Wade
(Baden-Powell's secretary)
published in 1957
Some backpack hints and tips
• Carry a couple of large, 33-gallon trash
bags in your pack at all times. You will
find many uses for them. Here are a few:
Slip one over your pack at night and it
will keep your pack dry. With a little
cutting you have an emergency poncho or
pack cover so you can walk in the rain
and still be reasonably dry by the time
you get back to the trailhead.
• To make your bug repellent go further,
simply wet your skin with water and then
apply. That makes it easier to spread
evenly and thinly.
