Scout authorities from all points predict a great increase in membership, and it is the general belief that the goal of half a million new scouts will be reached. The increase in membership of Scouts is largely dependent upon the most important factor, which is leadership. It is not so much a question of getting the boys as of getting competent leaders of character, who will give time as scoutmasters and assistants. In this respect Provo and the entire State of Utah is fortunate, as the Scout movement is made a part of the general activities of the dominant church. Every parent can .well afford to give the movement all the encouragement possible, as it is one of the greatest factors in the development of good citizenship in the world today.
