Lord Baden Powell of Gilwell who founded Scouting in 1907, conceived it for boys as the basis of character building and citizen ship training, considering them and the development of self-re liance, resourcefulness and other qualities of manhood and physical well-being as' making the boy with Scout training “an asset to his country.” Hailed by American Leaders The appreciation of America’s leaders of the Scout Program and the present-day strength of the Movement, greatest in its nearly 31 years, is pointed out by Dr. West, who says: “Over the years, leaders in American life have characterized the Boy Scout Program as one of the greatest assets of our country In excess of nine million men and boys have already had the benefit of Scout training. Our member ship is today close to 1,500,000, organized into nearly 47,000 Troops and Packs and other units, operating under the leadership and supervision of 544 Local Councils. Three hundred and thirty thousand six hundred men are registered for volunteer serv ice.” 1 National Inventory And Roll Call A nation-wide inventory and Roll Call is proposed during De cember by which every Troop will be checked on its Leadership and training. During the months ahead the Boy Scouts of America will un doubtedly be called upon for close cooperation with other service agencies. Already Boy Scouts, through their Local Council lead ers, are cooperating with local Red Cross Committees in the dis tribution of literature and in the performance of other services which comes within the scope of the Movement’s policies, based upon many years experience. Scout Services are readily coordi nated with those agencies which are particularly designed to carry out given programs. Welcome Refugee Scouts Scouts of foreign lands arriving in America as evacuees are being welcomed into Scout circles and are being made to feel at home. Dr. West had advised the Scout Agricultural Engineering 1. In planting small grain set furrow-openers to run approxi mately three inches deep. This may prevent some winter killing. 2. Check over plows, cultivators, and other idle machinery on the farm for needed repairs and cover all bright parts with grease to prevent rusting. 3. Repair breaks or low places on terraces. 4. Check fireplaces, chimneys, and flqes for needed repairs before cold weather. Plant Diseases and Insects 1. T*eat small grain seed for smut, or plant smut-resistant oats. 2. Select sweet potato seed from disease-free vines. 3. Use paradichlorobenzine by October 10 in the Piedmont section and October 20 in other sections to control peachtrecr borer, except where it is planned to use ethy lene dichloride. 4. Harvest com early to reduce weevil infestation. tions show how many trained hands could be had for emergency service in comparatively little time. These test calls value similar to fire drills in -chools and drills aboard ships. The hope is of course that fires will never occur or that it would never become necessary to aban don ship. These drills, in peace and in war times, develop skill and confidence. Thus, when emergencies arise hysteria and danger are averted. The rescue of 328 child refugees aboard a British steamer en route to Can ada early in September, without loss of a single child, was credited to the training given the young sters. Scouts are schooled to believe that the protection of the home and home folks in emergencies is a basic service responsibility, and that work farther afield is the responsibility of the more highly- trained Scout Emergency Service have a members hip that these refugee Scouts might very properly be in vited to become honorary mem bers and participate actively in Troop activities, however, wear ing their own Scout uniform and insignia. By a reciprocal agree ment, they may have an equiva lent rank in the Boy Scouts of America to that which they earn ed in their own country. / d- vancement made in Scout worl in the United States may be cour ' ed toward an advanced rank in , ie Scout organizations to which U.ey belong.
