I am saying so because they are holistic. They do not deal with just one or another aspect of our living situation. The Scout ethos reaches far into the individual and at the centre of the discipline it inculcates is the desire to sacrifice, to provide for, and to live for other human beings.” Invitation from the Board H.E Flt.
