The Boy Scouts of America are to be commended for their 51st anniversary an-niversary slogan. The impact and meaning of these four words are typical of Scouting and should Inspire In-spire all of us to this call. We, as a nation, are strong. We are free, and we must remain this way. We have the upmost challenge chal-lenge of still a growing democracy and we must rise up to defend what we now have and enjoy. The growth of this democracy will con- tinue only through a constantly increasing strength from within. And nothing will strengthen us nationally na-tionally or locally so much as high character levels developed in and by ourselves, as citizens of these United States. For fifty-one years the Boy Scouts of America have been dedicated dedi-cated to the building of character and training in citizenship of A-merican A-merican boyhood.
