This was the intent of William Hillcourt's First Method of Scouting, "The Scout Way (A Game, NOT a Science)."

 

This, perhaps the most important Method of Scouting, was eliminated in 1972 (along with the Uniform), when the "Seven Methods of Scouting" were first introduced:

 

1) Scouting Ideals;

2) Patrols;

3) Advancement;

4) Adult Male Association;

5) Outdoor Program;

6) Leadership Development;

7) Personal Growth.

 

If the BSA could change its mind and reinstate the Uniform as a Method, then why not The Scout Way?
