To Scouts Everywhere
(Baden-Powell prepared a farewell message to all Scouts to be published
after his death.)
Dear Scouts - if you have ever seen the play 'Peter Pan'
you will remember how the pirate chief
was always making his dying speech because he was afraid that possibly, when the
time came
for him to die, he might not have time to get it off his chest. It is much the
same with me, and
so, although I am not at this moment dying, I shall be doing so one of these
days and I want to
send you a parting word of goodbye.
Remember, it is the last time you will ever hear from me,
so think it over. I have had a most
happy life and I want each one of you to have a happy life too.
I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy
and enjoy life. Happiness does not
come from being rich, nor merely being successful in your career, nor by
self-indulgence. One
step towards happiness is to make yourself healthy and strong while you are a
boy, so that you
can be useful and so you can enjoy life when you are a man.
Nature study will show you how full of beautiful and
wonderful things God has made the world
for you to enjoy. Be contented with what you have got and make the best of it.
Look on the
bright side of things instead of the gloomy one.
But the real way to get happiness is by giving out
happiness to other people. Try and leave
this world a little better than you found it and when your turn comes to die,
you can die happy
in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your
best. 'Be
Prepared' in this way, to live happy and to die happy - stick to your Scout
Promise always -
even after you have ceased to be a boy - and God help you to do it.
Your friend,
Baden-Powell
