The best workers, like the happiest livers, look upon their work as a kind of game: the harder they play the more enjoyable it becomes. H. G. Wells has said:
"I have noticed that so called great men are really boys at heart, that is, they are boys in the eagerness of their enjoyment of their task. They work because they like to work, and thus their work is really play to them. The boy is not only father to the man, but he is the man and does not disappear at all."Ralph Parlette says truly:
"Play is Loving to do things, and Work is Having to do things."In Scouting we try to help the boys acquire this attitude, by making them person- ally enthused in subjects that appeal to them individually, and that will be helpful to them later on.
We do this first and foremost through the fun and jollity of Scouting. The boys can then by progressive stages be led on naturally and unconsciously to develop themselves for their future.
