Excerpt from Rovering to Success: A Book of Life-Sport for Young Men
Another Edition?
Well, I am glad that there should be this further demand for the book.
As I said in my former preface, it was with a feeling of great thankfulness that I received testimony that the book had been found helpful by so very many.
I only hope that this fresh edition may prove equally so, especially since two things have developed themselves in Rovering since the book first appeared.
One is the Rover Branch of Scouting, which, after steady evolution, has now established itself on a sound and permanent footing. This has necessitated the re-casting of the final chapter, dealing with Organisation and Rules, in accordance with suggestions received from the Rover Scouts themselves.
The second result has been the adoption of Rovering by the Scouts of other nations to an extent which already supplies the nucleus of a World-Brotherhood of young men working under a common ideal of Service, and under a common bond of Friendship and Understanding.
This, to my mind, is a definite step forward in the direction for which we all aim, viz. the promotion of God"s Kingdom of Peace on Earth and Goodwill among men.
