About this Quote

This quote by Robert Baden-Powell speaks with the importance of leading by example. The Scoutmaster is a good example for the kids, and by demonstrating the values and habits that he desires the young boys to find out, he is teaching them how to play the video game. This could describe the game of life, where the Scoutmaster is teaching the young boys how to be effective, responsible, and respectful members of society. It might likewise describe the video game of searching, where the Scoutmaster is teaching the young boys the skills and values of hunting. In either case, the Scoutmaster is revealing the boys how to play the game by doing it himself. He is setting an example for the kids to follow, and by doing so, he is teaching them how to be successful in whatever game they are playing.
