"If you can dream without leaving the dreams conquer you,

If you can think without thoughts end in itself,

If you can face the triumph and the destruction equally,

then World will be yours and everything exists in it..."

Rudyard Kipling 

 

 

"...99 years now,                          "...a bright star

   we chase the tops,                     shows from the sky

    in order to live linked,                  the Promise, the Law

       as ideal forms..."                       the Scouting way..." 

 

"...A fire in eyes

a blowing in the soul

a compass and a way

a light for guide

unbreakable link

the Promise and the Law..."

 

"...We will make a world without pain,

 we will give Scouting life,

joy will only reign,

and it will last for ever ...!!"

 

"...Listen how this wind whistles,

hot, sweet, it's our wind,

Scouts' great blowing...

And it wide opens above our world,

sun's window appears,

yesterday and tomorrow bridges to built..."

 

"...This fire stays always near us,

and through the centuries,

brother and sisters Scouts,

nights like this,

with the flame lets send the symbol of memory,

each celebration while heats our hands and our soul,

and goes straight to the stars,

there where only human's thought arrives..."

 

"You may come this beautifull time,

with the trefoil for sail we will leave together...

You may come with Scout-heart,

to live together a life-camp...

Come and live the adventure,

the adventure wherever it is...

And close for ever in your heart,

your offer for the child..."

 

"...The first star rises,

love, light to bring...

And the company will flood with Scout-life happiness...

And the wind repeats,

keep ideal..."

 

 

(From his last message to Scouts)

"...But the real way to get happiness, is to giving out happiness to other people. Try and leave the World a little better than you found it..."

...If you wonder why I am Scout, I will tell you:

 Because I can't make differently...

 Their clean eyes conquered me,

 and the way they have to tighten robustly the hand...

 And their sincerity,
 and the simplicity of their relations...

 That way they have to go live outside,
 and loving the nature,
 and loving people more than theirself...

 And helping with their small force,

day by day,

as they can...!!

 

 

I am Scout and I am really

very proud of it...!!
