Green Bar Bill Scout Law

[Armymutt]

I could have sworn I heard of a video or transcript of Green Bar Bill saying the Scout Law with further details for each point.  I'm coming up short on Google.  I've seen some explanation pages, but I thought there was one he did.  Any help?

Not yet but I found this which has his complete essay The Life of a Serendipitist

Here is an excerpt which I found interesting

...A week after my accident I hobbled into the national office on my crutches to
pick up my mail. I was walking to the elevator when an astonishing coincidence
changed my life completely. Someone else was on his way to the same elevator:
James E. West, the dynamic Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America.
He knew of my accident. He stopped to greet me, then said, “Well, my young man,
what do you think of American Scouting?” The elevator came. We went down
together, chatting.

His words may have been just a casual remark. But I took them seriously. I
wrote an 18-page report and sent it to him. It was complimentary in spots,
critical in others. But for each criticism I offered a suggestion for remedying
the situation.

Within a week, he had me in his office. “While I don’t agree with everything
in your report, I am interested in what you say about the Boy Scouts of America
not using the patrol method effectively. You suggest that we should have a
Handbook for Patrol Leaders. What should it contain?”...

I heard about a kid named Spielberg who might have experience.
