Show CAMPAIGN IS Oil TO AROUSE INTEREST I IN BOY SCOOTS The campaign for associate mem-' hers of the Boy Scouts is being p.ishd ! rapidly in ogden during the present j week, which has been set aside! throughout the nation as Boy Scout i iweek, a special proclamation having j ' been issued in Utah by Gov. Simon Bamberger. As yet no Scout executive has been Selected for Ogden. although the $6000 necessary for carrying or. the work for a year has been provided by the Ogden Rotary club Offices have also been .donated in the Col Hudson building i on the second flour When a Scout executie has been chosen he will take charge of the headquarters offices and will call s general conference of Scout masters of the 13 troops of Weber county. It Is believed thai a great deal of i good will result in the first year's work under a complete oi ganization, as it; has been generally recognized that I membership in 1 i Boy Scouts has redeemed many boys who had started to become wayward, and it has held many others to the straight path by inculcating a desire to be manly. To leach boys to be real self reliant and reliable men is the work of the scout I movement. Few of the. present generation gen-eration of young ii u had the opportunity oppor-tunity to belong to a ocout organization as the movement was started by Colonel Col-onel (now general) Baden -Powell of the British army only a few years ago. A summer camp w 1 1 b provided for j the local scouts and they will make I a pilgrimage to tie- -put which has been selected in Sjuth Fork in the near future. During the camping days the boys will be taught to be self reliant re-liant and to take rare of themselves I under any circumstances They wilP I be taught to make fires, cook, prepare: I their own beds, providing as much as i possible their own materials from the I I natural materials at hand. It Is hoped to enroll practically every 1 boy in Weber county as associate members before tne florae of th'' pre ent week. The Ogden Rotary club has not abandoned the campaign since' ! raising the fund, but will also hold a; J meeting tomorrow evening to make plans for carrying ihe campaign to victory. |
