A general reauest has been sent out from the National headquarters of the Boy Scouts in New York asking pastors of churches all over the United States, in their sermons on Sunday, February 8. to describe the benefits of the Boy Scout movement. Stress is laid on this particular date as being the Sunday preceding the fourth annual meeting of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Pastors are requested to dwell espe cially on the moral grip which the scout programme has upon boys, and to make a special appeal to the men of their congregations to take not only a passive interest but an active part in the Boy-Scout work. Scout officials, who. understand better than others what Bcoutlng is, are asked to explain it to the pastor of their church, also the need of men to serve as scout mas ters or assistants, or merely to show friendly interest in a troop. It is asserted that there are 8,000,000 boys of the scout age in the United States, but that, despite the rapid spread of the movement in all the states, only small percentage of these boys have been reached by scout influences.
