Lord Robert Baden-Powell's Last Message to Scouts

Dear Scouts,

- if you have ever seen the play Peter Pan you will remember how the pirate chief was always making his dying speech because he was afraid that possibly when the time came for him to die he might now have time to get it off his chest. It is much the same with me, and so, although I am not at this moment dying, I shall be doing so one of these days and I want to send you a parting word of goodbye.

Remember, it is the last you will ever hear from me, so think it over.

I have had a most happy life and I want each one of you to have as happy a life too.

I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life. Happiness doesn't come from being rich, nor merely from being successful in your career, nor by self-indulgence. One step towards happiness is to make yourself healthy and strong while you are a boy, so that you can be useful and so can enjoy life when you are a man.

Nature study will show you how full of beautiful and wonderful things God has made the world for you to enjoy. Be contented with what you have got and make the best of it. Look on the bright side of things instead of the gloomy one.

But the real way to get happiness is by giving out happiness to other people. Try and leave this world a little better than you found it and when your turn come to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best. "Be Prepared" in this way, to live happy and to die happy - stick to your Scout promise always - even after you have ceased to be a boy - and God help you do it.

Your friend,
Baden-Powell

This last message was found in his papers after he had died.

Let's learn how to give YELL

Patrol Yells

Using the Patrol Yell

Before you decide on your Patrol yell, go through the sample yells below.

When your Patrol has made up or has picked the yells the fellows like, practice them until you can deliver them with real pep and enthusiasm.

Then, if you want to honor a person or a place with a yell, you can fit your favorite yell for the occasion, by simply adding name of person or place to the yell--once or three times to suit the rhythm.

But remember that a yell that's only a yell is not a yell at all! It isn't the noise that counts. It is the spirit and the meaning behind it that make the yell of value in your Patrol's life.
