United Fund There is an uneasy truce between the Salt Lake Boy Scout Council and the United Fund. The Fund does not want its agencies to go out collecting money on the side, it weakens their one solicitation appeal. They let the Scouts conduct a sustaining membership drive every year. The question is, from whom do the Scouts collect? They say its only people directly involved or interested in scouting, but they have 600 or so collectors and their control problems are difficult. Boy Scouts are a powerful organization and a good drawing card for the Fund, thus the hesitancy in bearing down or even bringing the issue out into the open. This problem came to such a head in San Antonio that the Fund dropped the Boy Scouts, 'the San Antonio Fund director told us that both feel that theyre better off. : The Scout Council problem is a real one. They have an operating budget of close to a quarter of a million dollars annually, they collect less than half of that from United Fund. Nevertheless that half represents the second largest Fund allocation. Rocky Mountain Review.

Yet they too are vital to the life blood of our community. Many examples come to mind, particularly those treating mental disease and disorder, which we tend to relegate to inferior status. The 50 per year charge is not realistic In 1964. What it should be we cant say, perhaps not the full $8.00 it would take for the 35,000 or so Salt Lake boys to support the local Council's program, but something more like that. The 50 charge is a fundamental tenant of scouting administration principal, it would be hard ttshake. Another solution should be found, and wl would suggest the possibility of Boy Scouts earning part of the money required. state-support- Sampling Shows Majority Favoring Civil Rights Bill On Moral Grounds There is no question about the value and worth of scouting to the community and to the boys involved. The question involves the source of the financing. Scout leaders maintain that every boy should have the opportunity to be a scout, that is why they keep the basic charge to 50 per year.
