Jim Hogan (outdoor educator)

James Martin Hogan is primarily known as co-founder of the worldwide Outward Bound movement of outdoor adventure education schools, along with Kurt Hahn and Lawrence Durning Holt, having been the first warden of the sea school - the first Outward Bound school - established in Aberdyfi, Wales by Holt to train crews of his Blue Funnel Line.[1][2] Hogan has been credited with choosing the now-famous Outward Bound motto: "To serve, to strive, and not to yield."[3] Hogan was a Boy Scout leader and Wood Badge holder.[4]
