approval o f Scouting, there is good
reason for the enthusiasm of the
boys themselves. The movement's
whole program is predicated on the
idea of "learning by doing." To
promote respect for the United
States Flag, u color ceremony Is
purl of troop meetings, and an Im­
portant part of the tenderfoot re­
quirements is a knowledge of cor­
rect flag usages.
Self-reliance is developed on
hikes in the woods, where — un­
der the eye of senior scouts and
adult leaders — the beginners learn
to pitch their own tents and cook
their own meals. Trucking and path-
finding games are exciting sport,
and they teach the boys to be ob­
servant. Contests in first aid, knot
tying and bridge building keep them
alert and ready for the day when
their knowledge will be of serious
use to the community.
The idea of service is kept before
the boys throughout their years as
toy Scouts. The daily good turn is
a keynote of the program. Advance­
ment to higher rank requires evl-
lence that the youngsters have liv­
ed up to the Scout Oath and Law
ince joining.
Typical of the sort of Good Turn
hat appeals to the boy's dramatic
ense is the distribution of Thanks-
{iviag baskets, ushering ut public
unctions, and assisting in rescue
.vork. Preparation for such tasks
»tills an eagerness lo perform oth-
•r. less exciting jobs. Active parti-

In C h aracter B u ild in g

of the organisation believes. Al­
The American boy's urge lo do though adults look with favor upon
things is largely responsible for the the character-building aspects ol
.scouting, the 12 year old is primar­
ily interested in joining a lively
bunch of his contemporaries who
seem to spend most of their time
hiking, camping, performing spec
tacular Good Turns and playing ex
citing games.
Records of the past three derr.de
have well established the character
values of Scouting. More than half
of the Rhodes Scholars from the
United States have been forme*
Scouts. So have half the cadets at
Annapolis and West Point. Private
organizations who .tire many youn.t
men frequently consider attainment
ol Eagle Scout rank as the equiv­
alent of two years in college. The
Army and Navy Air Corps give
special perference to high ranking
former Scouts because they are pre­
