“An eminent educationalist Sir Michael Sadler, has described the Boy Scout Movement as “the most striking contribution that Britain has made to modern education,’ meaning, of course that the finest flower of education is not so much knowledge as character. It is the formation of strong self-re-liant character which is the goal of the Jreat Game as the Boy Scouts play it, and the genius of Baden-Powell consisted in this, that he knew the heart of a hoy, and what queer idealisms and splendid loyalties he is capable of if there is the right method of apr proach and the true concessions are made to what boys like.
