The legacy
 
 

Fellow scouts from the world, try to understand the teachings from the Patrol System. Let's unravel our true job in scouting and form real leaders, understanding that the leader is not just the one who leads as it often happens in our society, the leader adjusts to the setting, gets involved with his men and women, personalizes motivation, distinguishes the qualities of each and makes them available to the rest, improvises, leads through the example, takes the first step, knows the consequences of what he/she does, tightens or slackens the reins when necessary, helps the one in need, shares his knowledge and deciphers the unknown.

 

Roland Philipps' contribution is not limited to the scout's life, on the contrary, it takes the scout's life as a means for the youngster to go beyond the real world so he can apply the values and teachings of a system not yet included in any educational program, difficult of course, because we cannot take the woods into the classroom, although some take the woods to the parks, which is sad. Let's bring the boys close to good scouting and take them away of the sidewalks. Let's teach our boys to learn the art of the good leader within an environment where there are greater demands. Soft scouting is not scouting, we have to suffer it outdoors.

 
 
   

Roland Philipps, on July 7, 1916 you were heroically killed in action, but your heritage still lives on. Lead us from the camp you settled next to the Lord and give us the wisdom to present to our society young leaders that transform their fellow men in determined, strong and dedicated soldiers.
