Closing Words by Lord Baden Powell

Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, said this to Scouts everywhere:

"I often think when the sun goes down, the world is hidden by a big blanket from the light of Heaven, but the stars are little holes pierced in that blanket by those who have done good deeds in this world. The stars are not all the same size; some are big, some are little, and some men have done small deeds but they have made their hole in the blanket by doing good before they went to Heaven. Try and make your hole in the blanket by good work while you are on earth. It is something to be good, but it is far better to do good."
