By the term " Instructor " I mean any man or lad who takes up the training of either a Patrol (i.e., six to eight boys), or a Troop i.e., (several Patrols joined together). By means of this book I hope that anyone, even with · out previous knowledge of scouting, may be able to teach it to boys in town just as well as in the country. The system is applicable to existing organisations such as schools, boys' brigades, cadet corps, etc., or can supply a simple organisation of its own where these do not exist. But in all cases I would strongly commend the " Patrol” system : that is, small permanent groups, each under responsible charge of a leading. boy, as the great step to success. The reasons for this, the objects of the training and full hints to Instructors I have already published in a pamphlet called " The Boy Scouts Scheme.” Price Twopence. Published by Bradbury, Agnew, Bouverie Street, London, E.C. They will be further set forth in Part VI. of the present book. I recommend the Instructor to begin with a Patrol of eight boys if possible, and when these have qualified as “ First-class Scouts" to select the best five or six to raise each a patrol of his own and instruct it under his (the Instructor's) supervision.
