The underlying values of Knighthood and the Bible were eventually
passed on to the Scouting movement for boys and girls by General Sir
Baden-Powell about 1908.[12] The priority expressed in the Knight's
Code is God, country, others, self -- the same sequence as in the Ten

land which the Lord hath given thee).
6. Thou shalt not murder.
7. Thou not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not lie.
10. Thou shalt not covet.

right brain greater autonomy. These relaxation devices allow the right

solutions, as well as create new things for the fun of it. This
