And yet, in almost every city, town and hamlet in the United States j you will find a Boy Scout, or a' man who was a Boy Scout. With I a total of 10 million men and boys who are, or have been Scouts or Scouters during the life of the Boy Scouts of America it is hard to imagine many places where you would not find one or more scouts. Scouts are celebrating this week they are celebrating the thirty-second thirty-second anniversary of the founding found-ing of the Movement in America. The Boy Scouts of this community commun-ity are part of this gigantic, Nation-wide birthday week. In a very real sense this birthday birth-day celebration should' be our celebration. We will be so much the better if we keep Scouting alive and vigorous. Character and citizenship, the aim and purpose of all Scouting activities are the real life blood of this and any other democratic community. These boys we see carrying on their Scouting and "good turn" activities are going to take our places some day. They can receive no finer training than Scouting affords them for citizenship citizen-ship in a free country. Their course will be true their , heads high because they stand by the Scout Oath and Law which reads: "On my honor I will do my best: To do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the Scout f Law. To help other people at all times. To keep myself physically strong, ! mentally awake and morally straight." |
