Section 176 - Respect for the Flag
(k) The flag, when it is in such a condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.
Quotes from Lord Robert Baden Powell, Founder of the World Scouting Movement.
"There are four essential points to look for in a leader:
1. He must have a wholehearted faith and belief in the rightness of his cause.
2. He must have a cheery, energetic personality, with sympathy and friendly understanding of his fellows.
3. He must have confidence in himself through knowing his job.
4. What he preaches he must himself practice.
"The essentials of leadership might, in telegraphic brevity, be summed up as 'comradeship and competence' ". - The Scouter, November 1936
