IT DEVELOPS CHARACTER BY
PRACTICE as well as by pre
cept. A Scout must. " do a
good turn every day."'
IT IS A WONDERFUL TRAINING
IN AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP,
because he takes an active inter
est In the . good name of his
town. "A Scout is trustwor
thy." IT DOES NOT ADVOCATE MILI
TARY TRAINING FOR BOYS,
but teaches the idea of a univer
sal brotherhood. There are
ScOuts In 57 nations. It is en
dorsed 1y labor leaders, church
es, and peace societies. "A
-Scout is a friend to all and a
brother to every other Scout."
IT IS AN OUTDOOR PROGRAM
. teaching observation, Initiative,
leadership, first aid, and how to
act in emergencies, so that Gen
eral Pershing said, "Every boy
in the United States should
have the benefit of this train,
ing." "A Scout is brave."
IT TEACHES NO CREED but rec-
Ognfzes that every boy owes
definite duties to God. It,
r therefore, asks the churchee of
' all denominations to furnish a
meeting place and leadership
for their own boys And to pro
vide for. their religious training.

;.j adopted and endorsed by Cath

GOVERNOR PIERCE APPROVES
BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
The Boy Scouts of America is undoubtedly one of the -nation's
livest, most worth-while institutions. I endorse its ac
tivities in no uncertain terms. It is toTTthe teachings and train
ing of good men. and women working ' together through such
splendid organizations as this that we nxust look for the incul
cation of those right principles and practices of manhood as
make for the highest citizenship. Laws alone, however good,
cannot prevent wrong and injustice. But right thinking and
right service, coupled with right training by men whose hearts
aV right, will go a long way indeed towards establishing that
Utopia of citizenship which we all desire. To this end the Boy
Scouts are working, and they should be encouraged hearitly
by all.
WALTER. M. PIERCE,
Governor of Oregon.
MAYOR J. B. GIESY
APPROVES "BOY ? SCOUTS
The American boy embodies the hope of civilization, and
the progress of oar city, state and nation.' The boy of today is
the man of tomorrow.
Every citizen has a responsibility to encourage all efforts
that have for their purpose helpfulinfluence. and training Of
boys so they may develop. The stature of manhood, safe,
clean and prepared to undertake their individual parts In the
work of the world, with an understanding. of their obligation as
citizens, husbands and fathers.
boys so they may develop to the stature of manhood, safe,
gratifying impetus during the past through the training of the
individual Scout and the service rendered to the community
by them. The outlook and the scope of the work has been
broadened by the organization of a new four-country council.
I should like to request therefore that all fathers and
mothers and all other citizens of Salem to give special thought
attention and encouragement to the Boy Scout activities and
organization as evidence of their love for boys and their genu
ine appreciation of a movement which has been defined as a
"process of making real men out of real boys by a real pro
gram that works',". and which leads the boy in early life to do
his duty to God and country, to help other people at ail times,
and to keep himself physically strong, mentally awake and
morally straight.
It Is far better to train the boy than to overcome bad habits
fully set in maturity.
J. B. GIESY,
Mayor of Salem.
THE SCOUT
The scout program for boys is
outdoor life with a purpose. It
gives health, strength, happiness
and practioal education.
Enlists the good in the lad.
Makes him a man through his

Scouting offers a program of
things to do which appeals to boys

and Other Institutions
You ask for our ruling regard
ing an experience you have had
iq your city, where the Scoutmas
ter and officials of an Episcopal
Qhurch refuse to admit boys who
are not members of their church
to their troop. You set forth that
the Torop, sponsored by the Epis
copal Cathedral, Is now In its ninth
year, and that during all this time
the Cathedral had nrovided a
meeting place for the scouts in its
Parish House, a modern building
having such conveniences as read.
ing room,r bowling alleys; gymna
sium, shower-baths, etc., all of
which have been accessible to the
members of . the Troop.
Further, that the institution had
seen fit to confine its membership
to boys who were In some way
affiliated with the church, such as
( being members of the Sunday
scnool, or sons of parents who
were either members of the parish,
or who were in. some way interest
ed in it.
Because of the unusual equip
ment, it is set forth that a great
many applications have been made
in the past for the privilege of
membership in this particular
troop, but the Vestry bad, after
careful consideration, concluded
that it. was best for all concerned
for them to maintain the policy as
formerly, and confine membership
in the Troop to those who are af
filiated with the institution In
some way.

The Willamette conncll. Boy .
Scouts of America, is made np of
representative citizens t of 'the i
counties of Marlon, Polk, Linn (
and Beht6n. As required by the
provision of .the national consti
tution, they are representing the
different phases of community
life, such as the school, church,
civic clubs, etc.
They hare the direct responsi
bility of seeing Ibat thecirogram
of scouting I adequately support- -ed
financially, that the standards
of the program are maintained, .
that proper supervision . and ad
ministration are carried on, and ,
that leadership is recruited. ;
trained and encouraged to. erre
the community in its boy program. .
The council is made up o four
departments, each department
composed of 16 men.- Thes'e de
partments are: Camping, Educa
tion. Finance, Field. , the duties
of each department aie .very spe--cif
ic, none overlapping the other
yet all fitting In to make a com
plete program. The camping de
partment will have charge of all '
camping and hiking, developing
training camps, planning summer
camp activities, etc. The educa
tion . department will ' tave - the
scoutmaster training V activities,
patrol leader training and other
scout' activities inch as rallies,
field meets, etc The finance de
partmentwill be responsible for
the raising of the funds' to carry
on the work, and properly snper-.
vise it disbursement.. The field
department will be directly re-'
sponsible for; the securing ' of
scoutmasters, . supervising, and
planning troop programs, main
tain an Inspection ' service, visit
troops, and Insure well balanced
troop progress.
The same , number of depart
ments will be operating In each
one of the four counties. The
sum pf the four departments in
each county will make up the
council heads of the four depart-.'
mehts in each county plus the of
fleers wiji constitute the exetau.-,
tire board. - The entire council ' a '
now organized consists of Co men.
The administration of the work
of the council will be in charge
of a scout executive who will give
his full time to the work. , .,
The officers of the council are
as follows: li-l-i
Oscar Hayter, president, Dallas.
Elmo White, first rice-presl- ;i

ago to promote Scouting as
movement rather than as an or
ganization. By this I mead. r.
felt that we would render great
er service to the boys of America
if we made available to all nstitu i
tions haying contact with "boy ilfc
the Scoutlpg Program tor-them
to use to supplement the werk of
their institutions, thus utilizing
the facilities and already - estab
lished interests of functioning in
stitutions, such as churches, set
tlement houses, playgrounds and"
schools. In retching this decision.
we very definitely nad in inind
that we would avoid the txepnse
and cbmplicatlona of developing
independent machinery and physi
cai facilities essential to the prac
tical operation of the Scout Move
ment, but at the same time we
would have to accord )a it...
making ' use of our progf am . a
certain degree of Independence and
a very definite recognition of their -right
to maintain their institu

involve complications and embar
