FEBRUARY 22, 1732 - DECEMBER 17,799, Scouts Celebrate 34th Anniversary Will it be possible, after this war ends, to create a world brotherhood among men. dedicat­ ed to peace, without sacrificing love of one's own country ? Everyone acquainted with Scouting, which last week cele­ brated its 34th anniversary in America, knows that the answer is yes. The Boy Scout organiza- zation is almost world-wide. Pa­ triotism and friendliness, and re­ spect for other men's religious beliefs, all are part of the Scout Oath and Law The World Jambo­ rees of Scouting were internation­ al gatherings which might well set a pattern for statesmen to fol­ low. Not everybody likes world brotherhood. Adolph Hiller, on coming to power, abolished Scout­ ing in every occupied country. Yet it continues "underground." Someday, along with free speech, a free press and untrameled re­ ligion, it will emerge from hiding. It takes better boys today to build a better world tomorrow. The success of the Scout move­ ment, in America and in other United Nations, proves that the principles of Scouting will tri­ umph in the end. Scouting will continue to further participating citizenship and a world brother­ hood In the years following the war.
