SCOUTS ARE FINE SOLDIERS A letter from a former scoutmaster on active service with the American expeditionary forces tells of the value of scoul training. It says: "Once a scout, always a scout. I meet the scouts In every town and have made many friends, us they are all like the Yanks. I can say advisedly that I don't believe I ever did anything any more worth while than my scout work. With Juvenile delinquency Increasing In the war countries at an alarming rate, I am Just beginning to realize the g alness of the scout movement and Its power for good among the boya who bait It up. The vast difference be-tw(on be-tw(on the scout and the other boy Is not very pronounced at home, but over here It Is glaring and Impresses everybody. every-body. The boys are keeping clean and st in k')n nnd will come home the samo fine fellows ready to look Ihelr girl or mother straight In the eye. They will make great scoutmasters when they get back home." |
