The Boy Scouts of America observes its 46th birthday during Boy Scout Week, February 6 to 12, with its membership at an all-tihigh of 4,100,000 boys and adult leaders. Since 1910 more than 242 million Americans have shared in its leisure-tim- e program. There is scarcely an American family that does not know of Scouting first hand. To mark this birthday the organization launches a Four-YeProgram with the theme' Onward for God and My Country. Boy Scouts of America seeks through organized and trained man power to give an increasingly better program to an increasing number of the nations youth, says Dr. Arthur A. Schuck, Chief Scout ' Executive, and to help todays youth to Be Prepared as citizens of character, to be prepared' in body, skill, spirit, will and as a member of a team. The Chief Scout Executive feels that this program is launched at a time when it is evident that increased emphasis on our free way of life is important. For the safety and welfare of the United States, he holds, a patriotism of the highest type is essential, a patriotism built on a firm spiritual foundation, As Scouting now influences the lives of three million he says, we must help them to the realization and boys, acceptance of God as the guiding power of the universe. We must interpret and find additional methods to help a Scout in his own religious life to fulfill his obligation to God as stated' in the Scout Oath and Law. , The Onward for God and My Country program also seeks to give youth opportunities to develop physical fitness, a sense of personal responsibility, a spirit of helping people, a willingness to share, and an understanding of governments democratic processes. It is a program worthy of the support of all Americans interested in youth. ar e, vEv SCOUTING Gilsonite Co. To Sink 1000 Ft.

Bacon that a brief report of the' achievements and standing of the district should be made to the parents and backers of the Scout program in the Roosevelt District, that you may know what the committee's have received for the cash and service you have put into it. You have a district committee of a chairman, two I feel six operating committee chairmen with 9 men assisting them, a district commissioner, and 6 neighborhood commissioners working with them all trained and registered. One hundred Scout leaders of the Roosevelt Scout District were' trained in their Scouting assignments during 1955'. We are thrilled that our boys in Roosevelt District camped out over 1001 boy nights during 1955. With the 1001 boy nights of camping goes an additional 1272 boy days of Scout , camping. Other highlights of the Roosevelt District during 1955 were: the' jump from 17 to 48 in the number of boys who are First Class Scouts and over; the increasing of the districts1 total units from 24 to 26, and the jump in boy registration from f 341 to 381. We dont claim all of our registered Scouts in the Roosevelt District to be outstanding youth, living as they should, nor do we claim that the' boy merely becoming a Scout will solve all of his developmental problems;, but we do say that thanks to the volunteer leadership in the units and the increasing interest of parents. Scouting in Roosevelt District is making a definite, worthwhile contribution to the development of your boys to keep clean, reverent and patriotic. As Roosevelt District, we are only entitled to of the Field Executives time, who serves four districts and 80 units in the Basin. Effective work, therefore, can' only be done through the district committee and Round Table meetings. Therefore, unit Scouters must attend these' meetings to effectively learn how to make Scouting work in their institutions.
