Show Impressions of the Older Scouts' Conference I had the privilege, while in Provo, to attend part of the sessions of the Older Scouts' Conference. Such an inspiration is hard to describe. The choicest of Utah's boyhood was there. I am certain, after witnessing such a scene, that we need not worry about the men of tomorrow. Boys from all over the state met, and there was immediate congenial fellowship. While each Council wished to be recognized at its best, yet there was an entire absence of envy. Cooperative teamwork was the keynote. The Conference represented citizenship citi-zenship in its truest form; it emphasized emphas-ized character as the greatest attribute attri-bute of man. The executives did not preach citizenship and character; the boys acted it. It was an inspiration to see mature men, executives, sitting in the background while boys in their teens gave masterful addresses on the industrial possibilities of Utah. While these young men talked, manhood man-hood radiated from their faces. t was particularly proud of the showing made by the Zion Park Council.
