爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Bok, who had been appointed one of the Boy Scout commissioners in his home district of Merion, saw the possibilities of the Boy Scouts in the Liberty Loan and other campaigns. Working in co-operation with the other commissioners, and the scoutmaster of the Merion Troop, Bok supported the boys in their work in each campaign as it came along. Although there were in the troop only nine boys, in ages ranging from twelve to fourteen years--Bok's younger son was one of them--so effectively did these youngsters work under the inspiration of the scoutmaster, Thomas Dun Belfield, that they soon attracted general attention and acquired distinction as one of the most efficient troops in the vicinity of Philadelphia. They won nearly all the prizes offered in their vicinity, and elicited the special approval of the Secretary of the Treasury.

白话
博克担任家乡梅里恩区的童子军专员，他看到童子军在自由公债等活动中能发挥作用，便与其他专员和童军队长合作，支持孩子们参与每次活动。这个童军团只有九名12到14岁的男孩，但在队长激励下工作非常有效，很快引起注意，成为费城附近最有效率的童军团之一，几乎赢得当地所有奖项，还得到财政部长的特别表扬。这说明年龄小、人数少不是问题，关键是有好的带领和激励，并给予实际参与的机会。
