SCOUT SERMONS DESIRED
Pastors Asked to Mention movement
February 8.
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.
