The following is an exerpt from the Septermber 29, 1917 issue of
"The Scout", a weeekly publication of the Boy Scouts Association.
THE CHIEF SCOUT YARNS
A Weekly Pow-wow by
Lt.-Gen. Sir ROBERT BADEN-POWELL, K.C.B
THE SCOUT UNIFORM
You may remember how I told you lately that a Scout, wearing his
uniform, was at once passed through the police barrier to give
help when the German airmen had bombed the train in which I was
about to travel. They recognised that a Scout was not an
ordinary boy, but was likely to be useful and helpful; so they
passed him through.
I have recently heard of another case like it when a Scout in
uniform was making his way to the scene of a great munition works
explosion.
A lady asked him where he was going. He replied: "To lend a
hand with the injured."
"But," said the lady, "you will never get through the police."
"Won't I!" he said. "A fellow wears this uniform can get
anywhere/"
He was "passed through" all right and did good work for several
hours.
So your uniform is one to be proud of. But is will also make
people expect a great deal from you, so Be Prepared; train
yourself and know hwat to do in any kind of accident and sho that
you can do it well for the honour of the Scout Brotherhood.
