The following is a true story of a Hampshire Boy Scout: “A twelve-year-old Boy Scout was cycling along the street when he collided with a motorcar. On examination, it was found that he had broken the thighs of both legs, his right leg, both arms, his left collar-bone and a couple of ribs. As he was carried into a neighbouring garage he turned to his bearers and asked them to send for his Scoutmaster. The Scoutmaster arrived, and the Scout attempted to give him the Scout sign of brotherhood, and then, with a tremendous effort said: ‘ I did not cry out, sir; I kept my promise and I tried to whistle.’ ”
