Proud organizers of the Mihindu Challenge Trophy, the biggest Scouts & Girl Guides gathering in Southern Sri Lanka. For the realization of these ideas I advise you strongly to avail yourselves of the opportunities afford by the Scouts Crops which has been started by the zeal of your Vise-Principal Mr. Pearce and aim of which is to train boys to be useful to others .I can think of on movement so pr
egnant with benefits to our rising generation and to country as this Scout Crops movement, with the world owes to general Baden Powell. Through it has been in force in Ceylon, I believe, for some years. I think this almost the first time it is been carried out properly on the line of the founder. It is not an excuse for swaggering as a soldier. A Scout not only learns obedience and discipline, But is clean in through, word and deed, Is a friend and helper and to all of every race, religion or cast and indeed to all living things. A scout trains himself, disciplines his mind and body, strengthens his character learns many hands pursuits, in order that may be a more useful member of the human race. We cannot be really useful unless we are self-controlled and observant. Every weak, ignorant, helpers, idle member of the human race is just like so much dead weight, which the rest of humanity has to pull along the way of evolution
