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.
