House Concurrent Resolution 139
Section 176 - Respect for the Flag:(k) The flag, when it is in such a condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning. 

Lord Robert Baden Powell, Founder of the World Scouting Movement

"There are four essential points to look for in a leader:

1. He must have a wholehearted faith and belief in the rightness  of his cause.

2. He must have a cheery, energetic personality, with sympathy and friendly understanding of his fellows.

3. He must have confidence in himself through knowing his job.

4. What he preaches he must himself practice.

"The essentials of leadership might, in telegraphic brevity, be summed up as 'comradeship and competence' ". 

- The Scouter, November 1936

Neal Patterson, Eagle Scout, CEO and Co-founder of Cerner Corporation

"A leader is someone whom others voluntarily follow...

Because the person has a compelling vision...

Because the person is extraordinarily competent...

Because the person has uncompromising integrity...

Nothing is more important to you as a leader than your trustworthiness.  People will not follow whom they do not trust.

Trustworthiness through personal integrity, adherence to an ethical code, and professional competency."
