Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell, LESSONS FROM THE VARSITY OF LIFE, a 1933 Autobiography, Chapter X, SEA SCOUTS. Having in my own boyhood been brought up by my brothers with a pod deal of sea-going work aboard various small yachts we owned from time to time, I realized the extraordinary value of this training. It brought out various qualities which no amount of land-training could produce to the same extent. Apart from the bodily health developed, it familiarized the lad with risks and hardships incident to seafaring in all weathers, and demanded of him the exercise of courage and caution, coupled with discipline, self-reliance and resource, all of which tended to make a man of him.
