Lord Baden-Powell was right when he said, “We never fail when we try to do our duty; we always fail when we neglect to do it.”

I believe Tang Wang Nyap, the Group Scoutmaster of Bukit Mertajam High School (HSBM), tried his best when he was in charge of the 1st and 2nd BM Scout Troops from 1968 to 1997.
