“I want you, Patrol Leaders to train your members, entirely on yourselves,because it is possible for you to get hold of each & everyone in your patrol & make a good scout out of him/her. It is of no use in having only one or two brilliant scouts in the patrol leaving others to be just no good at all but you should endeavour to make them all to be fairly good. The most important step to this is yourself, because what you do, your members will follow. Show them that you can obey orders whether they are given by word of mouth, printed or written, that you can follow & carry them out whether your Scoutmaster is present or not. You should also show them that you can earn proficiency badges, this they will follow with little persuasion. But remember that you must LEAD, not PUSH”
- Lord Baden Powell, Scouting for Boys.
