“ The work commenced by the celebrated General Baden-Powell is so great, that we—the most modest of all in numbers—fired with his grand idea, have given a great proof of energy unknown up to now in our country, by creating in less than one year our patriotic association, and coming to this great Rally in Birmingham to represent 8,000 Spanish Scouts. ”

“ We got back to camp at half-past ten, after an interesting and jolly day. We met several Birmingham boys, and, although they talk rather funny, they were very friendly, and if they ever come to Cambridge we will give them a good time. I like Birmingham; it must be nice to live in a busy city.
"I was sorry when Sunday morning came and we had to say 'Good-bye.' We gave them a good cheer when the train steamed out. Half-way home we sang hymns to the accompaniment of a comb and paper. We kicked up a big noise. I arrived home at half-past one. It is good to be a Scout." ”

“ Canada, Australia, South Africa, India, Gibraltar, China, France, Poland, Hungary, Spain, Norway, Denmark, Holland, United States, Belgium, Sweden, Italy, Bohemia. The Camp was indeed a cosmopolitan spot, but to the casual observer there was little difference between the boys—the uniform was the same, they all wore the same Scout badge, although in some cases the familiar Fleur-de-lys had somewhat assumed the shape of the German Eagle, or some other emblem denoting the nationality of the wearer. ”
