NAME - ADDRESS If satisfied I alight invest about Sr for gentleman—a man who can be trusted as being honorable and unself- ish in his motives, one who puts others first, self .second. There is a great meaning in that word `unselfish,' because selfishness is what the world is largely suffering from to -day --the selfishness of in- dividuals, classes, parties, creeds and of nations." • • , • ' The movement spread:like a prairie fire. To -day there are more than 500,- 000 Boy Scouts in the British Empire alone, and more than a:million in the rest of the world. International .Jam- borees of Scouts bring boys from all over • the globe. Always the, hero of their ovations is "13.P." He- himself has toured the ,world in the interests of Scouting and his trips have been triumphial processions. As a result of his services, he was knighted in 1909 and made a baronet In 1921. To -day, at 71, "B.P." is active and almost boyishly alert—sure ;evidence of the soundness of his teachings. He once was famous as a hunter. of 'big game and still is a keen sportsman. He has written hooks on army scout- ing and military compaigns, as well as several volumes on the Boy Scout movement. "B.P." is generally known as mere- ly "B.P." and the average .public could not tell if he had one medal to his name or what distinctions were due •him. The following are a few of the decorations,- orders, etc:, that''are' his: G.C.M.G., G.C.V.O., K.C.V.O., K.C.B., G.B., C.V.O.; L.L.D., Chevalier Order' eV -Christ of Podrtu gal, Grand ,Cross Alphonso XII., Grand Cross Order of Dannelrorg; Order of Me4'it.
