And so it is t t a Scout and a Guide know ﬁlers not from books, but ough hiking camping, climb- iag, studying t e stars, making oests of animal tracks, watching birds and animals and insects at their work and in their play.

And since Scouting and Guiding came into being, millions of boys and girls have learned these fundamentals of good living —-have learned to live closer to gel divine order of the Golden

Baden-Powell has succeeded ln devising an organi- zation which gives bo s and girls : new interest in ll e at a time when most of them lose gri on
