THE GAME of SCOUTING
A Message to all Scouters from the Chief Scout of the World
A game is sometimes a gamble.
Life itself is a game, a great game—
And sometimes a gamble.
I AM glad to read the inspiring challenge for the year 1930 by
the Chief Scout Executive, James E. West. In this he em-
phasizes the fact that Scouting is a game. Scouting is a
jolly fine game, not only for the boys, but for the men also who
lead them; it is one of the greatest games on earth. It is a Team
Game in which men and boys play together, each playing his
best in his definite place, playing according to the rules, playing
unselfishly to help the other, playing not for his own honor and
glory but that his side may be successful in achieving the goal
it aims for—namely, better citizenship in his own country and
closer friendliness with others.
Further than this it is a game played by the international
team composed of the Scouts of the different nations of the
world, all playing in the same way, to the same end, under the
badge of the "Golden Arrow"—to bring Goodwill and Peace
upon Earth.
So may our slogan for 1930 be
PLAY UP AND PLAY THE GAME!
